A WordPress plugin that enables automatic updates for plugins and themes hosted on GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, Gitea, and Gist, including language packs. It supports remote installation, branch switching, REST API endpoints, webhook-triggered updates, and WP-CLI integration, with API add-on plugins for non-GitHub hosts.

Use cases

• update wordpress plugins from github automatically
• update wordpress themes hosted on bitbucket or gitlab
• install a wordpress plugin remotely from a git repository
• trigger wordpress plugin updates via webhook or rest api
• manage wordpress updates across multiple sites with wp-cli
• distribute a private wordpress plugin from a self-hosted git server
• switch branches of a wordpress plugin or theme from the dashboard

When to choose

• you distribute WordPress plugins or themes via Git repositories instead of wordpress.org
• you want automatic or CI-driven updates for Git-hosted WordPress code
• you need remote management of plugin/theme updates across many WordPress sites
• you want branch switching or language pack updates from Git sources

When to avoid

• your plugins and themes are hosted on wordpress.org, which already handles updates natively
• you need a general-purpose Git client or deployment tool outside WordPress
• you require authenticated private-repo updates without a paid license after the trial
