Gitdown: Git Repository to WordPress Blog Posts

By Maxim Maeder

Gitdown lets you connect a Remote Repository to your Website and upload Markdown articles to your WordPress Blog.

⚠️ This plugin is still in development. If you find any issues, don’t hesitate to report them.

🎈 Easy to use

Setting Gitdown up to work with your Repository and Glob Pattern takes no time and can be easily changed anytime.

🔨 Customization

The shape of your Repository does not matter, you can change the glob pattern to your liking, and it will understand your repo correctly.

🎁 100% Free

Gitdown is free, and you can use it for whatever you want. Of course, I would be very grateful if you link back to me or the plugin so more people know about it 😀.

📚 Documentation

Once you activate Gitdown, it will take you to the documentation page, where you should get all the necessary info.

You can also consult the following documents for Help.

• FAQ
• Frontmatter Keys
• Example File
• API Endpoint
• (Changelog)

You will also find helpful information in the Reports section of the article overview.

⚠️ It may be outdated in some parts as I am somewhat unkeen writing documentation. Please file an Issue so I know that I need to change it.

👥 Contributing

All contributions are very welcome, so feel free to make issues, proposals and pull requests.

I’m building this Plugin by myself, and I made it for myself, but I think it could also be helpful for others. So if you have any ideas on how to improve it, please let me know.
