Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Gitdown: Git Repository to WordPress Blog Posts

🎈 Easy to use

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

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

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.
