## Description
|
|
|
|
This plugin was designed to simply update any GitHub hosted WordPress plugin or theme. Your plugin or theme **must** contain a header in the style.css header or in the plugin's header denoting the location on GitHub. The format is as follows.
|
|
|
|
GitHub Plugin URI: afragen/github-updater
|
|
GitHub Plugin URI: https://github.com/afragen/github-updater
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
GitHub Theme URI: afragen/test-child
|
|
GitHub Theme URI: https://github.com/afragen/test-child
|
|
|
|
...where the above URI leads to the __owner/repository__ of your theme or plugin. The URI may be in the format `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>` or the short format `<owner>/<repo>`. You do not need both. Only one Plugin or Theme URI is required. You **should not** include any extensions like `.git`.
