Netbox DeviceType/ModuleType Import Plugin

NetBox plugin for easy import DeviceType and ModuleType from NetBox Device Type Library. This is the continuation of the Netbox DeviceType Import Plugin app.

Description

The plugin loads only file tree representation from GitHub repo and shows it as a table with vendor and model columns. DeviceType definitions files are loaded when you try to import selected models.
