The plugin provides very basic styling, but adds classes so you can style as you see fit. If anyone has some ideas for a better default stylesheet – pull requests welcome!
The main development is all going on on GitHub.
You’re free to use this package for free, but if it makes it to your production environment please buy the world a tree.
http instead of https.
Posting the URL (which should trigger an embed in Gutenberg) using https seems to be hit or miss, but using http worked for all URLs I tried.
Doesn’t seem to work sadly. Trying to add my public repos to a page and they are not showing up like in the screenshots. I don’t think I am doing anything wrong, but perhaps a bit of better documentation and screenshots on how to actually add stuff would resolve the confusion if it is actually working.
I’ve tried on two separate multisite installs and I cannot get any GitHub URL to embed at all.
This doesn’t embed anything and is listed as the first embed plugin for github.
I even made my own embeding plugin for embed github content (repos,files,readmes…) years ago, and this plugin of yours is the first of the list even if doesn’t embed anything, just the name of the repository ? wtf
