Markdown Github

This plugin connects a GitHub repository to a blog, allowing you to publish and maintain Markdown-based content directly from your code repository. It is designed for developers, technical writers, and teams who want to manage blog posts or documentation in Markdown on GitHub and have those updates reflected live on their website.

• Sync Markdown from GitHub: The plugin fetches raw Markdown files from a specified GitHub URL via the API and converts them into styled HTML for display on your site. This ensures the published content always matches the latest version in the repository.
• Multiple Display Shortcodes: It provides several shortcodes for different use cases. The primary [md_github] shortcode renders the Markdown content. Additional shortcodes like [checkout_github] create a formatted link to the source, and [history_github] displays a recent commit history.
• Live Content Updates: The GitHub API is queried each time a page loads, meaning any commit pushed to the repository is immediately visible on the blog without manual intervention, reducing stale content.
• Support for Private Repos: By using a personal access token, you can access private repositories and benefit from a higher API request limit, making it suitable for sites with higher traffic.
• Version Control Workflow: It enables a collaborative workflow where multiple contributors can propose updates via GitHub pull requests, streamlining the content review and publishing process directly from a familiar development environment.
