This plugin connects a site to GitHub, allowing you to publish and manage Markdown content directly from your repositories. It is designed for developers and technical writers who want to maintain documentation or tutorials in Markdown on GitHub and have them appear live on their website. By using GitHub as the content source, it enables collaborative editing through pull requests and provides built-in version control.

Live Content Sync: The plugin queries the GitHub API each time a page loads, ensuring any updates to the Markdown file in the repository are immediately visible on the site without manual intervention.

Multiple Display Shortcodes: It provides several shortcodes for different presentation needs. The primary md_github shortcode fetches and styles raw HTML from a Markdown file. Additional shortcodes like checkout_github and history_github can show a formatted link to the repo or display a commit history.

Authentication for Private Repos: You can use a personal access token to authenticate with the GitHub API. This increases the API request limit and allows the plugin to access content from private repositories securely.

Markdown Styling: The rendered content uses GitHub's own CSS for styling, providing a familiar and clean reading experience that matches the look of Markdown on GitHub itself.
