Publishing your extension to GitHub

You can push extensions straight to your own GitHub repositories.

Connecting your account

Go to Settings and find GitHub Integration. Connect your account and it will show as linked and verified. You can disconnect from the same place at any time.

Pushing

Open the download panel and choose GitHub. Enter a repository name and a commit message describing what changed, then click Push to GitHub. It syncs the files to that repository.

Why use it

Proper version control rather than a folder of zips. A history of what changed and when. And a straightforward way to hand work to a developer or a client, since a repository is easier for them to work with than an emailed folder.

What it says about ownership

This is the clearest form of the promise that the code is yours. It is not sitting in our account waiting to be exported. It is in your repository, under your name, and it stays there whatever happens to your PlugThis subscription.
