Just a silly project to see if I can create WordPress plug-ins. It displays a list of GitHub repositories or the README.md of a single repository.
As of April 2026, GitHub Repositories is a WordPress Github plugin with 0 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 1.6K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 5.1+ and PHP 5.6+. Available on WordPress.org since 2019. Last updated 7 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Github Embed.
You define the plug-in with the shortcode list-github-repositories. Don’t forget to define the user whose plug-ins you want to display, else you’ll get mine.
Afterwards you get a nice list with your repositories.
Similarly you can use a shortcode like [show-github-repository user="slothsoft" repository="wordpress-github-repositories"] to show a single repository’s HTML. GitHub parses the HTML itself, so you don’t need to fear unsupported markup.
