This is a Wordpress plugin that will list your open source projects from github or bitbucket (or both). You can have them inserted in a standard post or page, or have them inserted in your sidebar. It's in use at codefury.net.
So in short, just placing:
{{github:username,bitbucket:username,sortby:watchers,sortdir:desc}}
in a post would pull your projects from both github and bitbucket, merge them into one list, sort them in descending order by watchers, cache it, and place the list in your post. More below!
This project is maintained by Kenny Katzgrau (@_kennyk_). It was supposed to be a quick project, but I got really into it.
Download a zip extract
it into /wp-content/plugins/
. Rename the extracter folder to wordpress-github.
Should you should now have a /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-github
directory.
Now log into the WP admin panel and activate the plugin. Go to the 'GitHub/BitBucket' settings page and do your thing (if you'd like, the plugin doesn't need any configuration).
Once you install the plug-in (see below), create a page (or open one) where you'd like your projects to be listed. On my personal website, this would be my 'Projects' page, which I was tired of updating :)
At the point where you'd like to insert your projects, put:
{{github:your_username}}
So for me, that was {{github:katzgrau}}
. But if you'd like to include projects
from multiple sources, you can do something like this:
{{github:username,bitbucket:username}}
So for me, that was {{github:katzgrau,bitbucket:katzgrau}}
This plugin also comes with a widget. Go to your Wordpress widgets page, and activate the 'GitHub Projects' widget.
The 'Title' field is label for the widget listing. You might want to just put "Projects".
For 'Sources', put in a project string like: github:your_username
. I use something like:
github:katzgrau,bitbucket:katzgrau
You can edit how projects are listed on the settings page. Look for the 'Github/BitBucket' settings link in the Wordpress admin panel.
Customization options include formatting and sorting. For example, if you want projects with the most watchers listed first, do:
{{github:username,sortby:watchers,sortdir:desc}
You can also sort alphabetically:
{{github:username,sortby:name,sortdir:asc}}
Lastly, you can sort by the last update or push. Note: This is currently supported by github's API only.
{{github:username,bitbucket:username,sortby:updated,sortdir:desc}}
The plugin caches your projects for 1 hour. If you'd like to configure this,
edit WPGH_Core::$_cacheExpiration
in wordpress-github.php
. This might be
configurable via the admin interface later.
Caching is done via another project of mine, WP-Easy-Cache.
