GitHub Sync WordPress Plugin

When you’re actively developing WordPress plugins and hosting them on GitHub instead of the official plugin directory, the update workflow is painful. Every time you push a change, you have to download the zip, go to the WordPress admin, delete the old version, upload the new one. For a plugin you’re changing multiple times a day, that gets tedious very quickly.

GitHub Sync plugin solves this by letting you pull updates directly from your GitHub repos inside the WordPress admin. Point it at a repo, authenticate with a token, and it handles the rest. It checks for new commits or releases and lets you update with one click, the same way you’d update any plugin from the WordPress directory.

I built it because I needed it for my own workflow. I was pushing changes to Super Events Calendar several times a day and the manual zip dance was slowing everything down. Now I just push to GitHub and hit update in WordPress.
