This tool allows developers to manage updates for themes and plugins hosted in private GitLab repositories, eliminating the need for manual downloads. It's designed for teams or individuals who develop custom themes and plugins and want to maintain control over their code while automating updates.

• Private repository updates: Automatically checks for new versions in private GitLab repos using tags, ensuring only authorized users can access updates.
• Flexible integration: Can be installed as a standalone plugin for managing multiple items or bundled directly into a single theme or plugin for a lightweight approach.
• Secure token-based access: Uses GitLab API tokens with specific scopes for authentication, allowing safe updates without exposing sensitive data.
• Centralized management: When used as a plugin, it provides a settings page to configure update sources for all installed themes and plugins in one place.
• Customizable implementation: Supports parameters like repository identifiers and URLs, making it adaptable to different GitLab setups and project structures.
