Features
Sidebar Widget
The Plugin provides a sidebar widget which can be configured to display commits from a github repo in the sidebar. You can have multiple widgets with different repo configured for each one of them.
Template function
In addition to using the widget, you can also use the following template function to display the commits of a github repo, anywhere in the theme
get_github_commits($user, $repo, $count);The following options can be passed in the $options array
- $user (string) - Github user name.
- $repo (string) - Github repo name.
- count (int) - default 5 - Number of recent commits to show
Custom field
You can also specify the repo for each post or page as a custom field. You can add it under the "WP Github Commits Page fields" section in the Add/Edit post screen.
Caching
The Plugin caches the commits that is retrieved from Github for 5 hours.
Styling using CSS
The Plugin adds the following CSS classes. If you want to customize the look of the widget then can change it by adding custom styles to these CSS classes.
- The outer
ultag has the classgithub-commits - Every
litag has the classgithub-commit
Troubleshooting
If you get timeouts or the error "WP HTTP Error: name lookup timed out" then it means that your server is not timing out before github can respond.
You can use the code from this gist to increase the timeout.
