I tried installing mgrs-tools by using git clone http://github.com... in my plugins directory. When I open 'Manage and install plugins' I see MGRS tools in red. And clicking on it I see:

This plugin is broken
invalid syntax

Using Ubuntu 15.04, QGIS 2.4 from standard Ubuntu package.

Hi @phaethon,

Hmm. Looks like the repo name needs changed, to support this type cloned install. Basically, the plugin manager does not like the '-' in the name. When distributed, the plugin directory is actually named mgrstools. Try renaming the cloned local parent directory to that name and restart QGIS.

Yes, that helped.
