-This script:
-- Reads each `manifest.json` under `../ledmatrix-plugins/plugins/`
-- Creates `plugin-repos/<id>` symlinks (relative) to those directories
-- Leaves correct links alone, replaces links that point elsewhere, and skips
-  (does not overwrite) a real directory of the same name — for example a
-  plugin you installed from the Plugin Store. Remove that directory first if
-  you want the linked copy.
+If a real (non-symlink) directory of the same name already exists in
+`plugins/`, the script offers to back it up and replace it.
+
+Without a sibling checkout, `./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link-github
+<name>` clones the monorepo into `~/.ledmatrix-dev-plugins/` instead and links

+- `plugins/` is git-ignored (except `plugins/.gitkeep`); the symlinks are

 - When changing a plugin in the monorepo, bump its manifest `version` and run
   `python update_registry.py`, or users won't receive the update.

-# NBA Logo Downloader
-
-This script downloads all NBA team logos from the ESPN API and saves
-them in the `assets/sports/nba_logos/` directory.
-
-> **Heads up:** the NBA leaderboard and basketball scoreboards now
-> live as plugins in the
-> [`ledmatrix-plugins`](https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins)
-> repo (`basketball-scoreboard`, `ledmatrix-leaderboard`). Those
-> plugins download the logos they need automatically on first display.
-> This standalone script is mainly useful when you want to pre-populate
-> the assets directory ahead of time, or for development/debugging.
-
-All commands below should be run from the LEDMatrix project root.
-
-## Usage
-
-### Basic Usage
-```bash
-python3 scripts/download_nba_logos.py
-```
-
-### Force Re-download
-If you want to re-download all logos (even if they already exist):
-```bash
-python3 scripts/download_nba_logos.py --force
-```
-
-### Quiet Mode
-Reduce logging output:
-```bash
-python3 scripts/download_nba_logos.py --quiet
-```
-
-### Combined Options
-```bash
-python3 scripts/download_nba_logos.py --force --quiet
-```
-
-## What It Does
-
-1. **Fetches NBA Team Data**: Gets the complete list of NBA teams from ESPN API
-2. **Downloads Logos**: Downloads each team's logo from ESPN's servers
-3. **Saves Locally**: Saves logos as `{team_abbr}.png` in `assets/sports/nba_logos/`
-4. **Skips Existing**: By default, skips teams that already have logos
-5. **Rate Limiting**: Includes small delays between downloads to be respectful to the API
-
-## Expected Output
-
-```
-🏀 Starting NBA logo download...
-Target directory: assets/sports/nba_logos/
-Force download: False
-✅ NBA logo download complete!
-📊 Summary: 30 downloaded, 0 failed
-🎉 NBA logos are now ready for use in the leaderboard!
-```
-
-## File Structure
-
-After running the script, you'll have:

-
-## Integration with NBA plugins
-
-Once the logos are in `assets/sports/nba_logos/`, both the
-`basketball-scoreboard` and `ledmatrix-leaderboard` plugins will pick
-them up automatically and skip their own first-run download. This is
-useful if you want to deploy a Pi without internet access to ESPN, or
-if you want to preview the display on your dev machine without
-waiting for downloads.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "Import error: No module named 'requests'"
-Make sure you're running this from the LEDMatrix project directory where all dependencies are installed.
-
-### "Permission denied" errors
-Make sure the script has write permissions to the `assets/sports/nba_logos/` directory.
-
-### Some logos fail to download
-This is normal - some teams might have temporary API issues or the ESPN API might be rate-limiting. The script will continue with the successful downloads.
-
-## Requirements
-
-- Python 3.9+ (matches the project's overall minimum)
-- `requests` library (already in `requirements.txt`)
-- Write access to `assets/sports/nba_logos/` directory
