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.

🎈 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.

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⚠️ It may be outdated in some parts as I am somewhat unkeen writing documentation.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.

MEG

Can I supply multiple glob patterns?

Does Gitdown read nested categories from the markdown file?

Does Gitdown read tags?

Yes, It does! You can supply either a list of tags or a single tag.

Does Gitdown support thumbnails?

Yes, It does! You simply have to provide a file called ‘preview.png’ in the same folder as your article and it will be added as the thumbnail. This means that you should have a folder for each article.

Which keys and values can I provide in the Frontmatter of my Articles?

You find the description for each key here.

Can I also manage Pages with Gitdown

Yes, you can! simply add post_type: page to your frontmatter and this file will be added as a page. You can then also define a parent page with parent_page: <slug of the parent page>.

Can Gitdown Automatically update/sync my articles?

Yes it can, simply go to the Settings and activate automatic updating there. Just keep in mind that this could mean that you will create duplicate content by mistake if you change the slug of your article.

Can I connect Private Repositories?

Generally the URL will have to look something like this: https://<Username_or_Company>:<PAT_or_Password>@github.com/<Username_or_Company>/<Repository_name>.git
