exponential-platform-nexus: platform repository history #

The history of exponential-platform-nexus, one of the platform repositories around Exponential (group: Distributions and starters). Read it to learn what the repository gives you, how it relates to Exponential and when it changed. The ledger records 97 changes from 2025-07-01 to 2026-09-01, all made by the se7enxweb team.

What it is #

Exponential Platform Nexus: Exponential Layouts + Media Site + tags + platform and legacy.

How it relates to Exponential #

The ready site distribution that renders the media site design; the lines 1.0.0.x to 1.3.0.x, with 1.3.0.x the current one. The v2.5.0.x tags on master are not a Nexus line.

What a user gets #

A working site with demo content, layouts and an admin, installed in minutes.

This repository is a Composer project (type project). Its README points to its own doc/INSTALL.md for the install steps; read that file first, then follow it. The quick start of the Nexus starter (git clone, composer install, php bin/console exponential:install exponential-media --no-interaction) is the closest documented sequence.
