Github Embed WordPress Plugin
Paste the URL to a Github project into your posts or pages, and have the project information pulled in and displayed automatically
Plugin that allows you to embed details from github just by pasting in the URL as you would any other embed source. Currently supports:
- Repositories
- User profiles
- Project milestone summaries
- Project contributors
Coming soon:
- Gists...
The plugin provides very basic styling, but adds classes so you can style as you see fit. If anyone has some ideas for a better default stylesheet - pull requests welcome!
The main development is all going on on GitHub.
