This plugin is for developers working on custom plugins or themes on a local or staging server. It adds clear indicators in the admin area and prevents the selected items from being updated, protecting your in-progress work from being overwritten.
Local Development Notices: Automatically adds a 'Local Development' notice on the plugins and themes admin pages for any item under version control, providing an immediate visual cue.
Update Blocking: Prevents the core update mechanism from updating the selected plugins and themes, eliminating the risk of accidentally overwriting local changes with code from a live repository.
Environment Awareness: Can add a colored warning to the admin bar when the site is running on localhost, making it easy to distinguish your development environment at a glance.
WSOD Handler Bypass: Allows bypassing the fatal error shutdown handler introduced in version 5.2, which can be useful during active debugging and development.
Git Integration: Optionally displays a Git host icon (like for GitHub) next to plugins on the admin page, providing quick context about the code's source. It automatically detects plugins and themes under version control.
