WP Git Updater

Display Git Status is a pretty simple plugin, all it needs is access to the <code>shell_exec</code> function and to be pointed at a git repository.
The plugin will not perform any state altering operations, it accesses the repository using read only methods to fetch information like branch name, last commit and status.
When the git repository is located (defaulting to <code>wp-content</code>, or overwritten via a setting) the plugin will add a new admin bar item with the git icon and the current branch name.
When your site has untracked changes the menu items background will turn red.
This is ideal as it gives you a small marker directly in the admin area that some changes have been made which you probably need to look into.
Additionally when accessing the plugins admin page you can see the result of the <code>git status</code> command, and the last commit applied to your site.

I had a client that has a bit unusual server setup so we had problems setting up GitHub Actions and making them work.The client has paid for the Pro version since our repositories are private.Everything worked like charm - after pushing my changes I simply went to wp-admin and clicked a button to pull the changes from GitHub.We have 3 repositories on that website.Then I realized that each repository has a special deployment link, so I created GitHub Action to do a GET request to that URL, and that worked like a charm, even behind the basic auth that the website uses.So now our changes get deployed automatically.Definitely a great and simple solution than setting up the pipelines which always cause problems on different platforms.Good job!



EDIT:I found 2 features I'd like to see in the next version:- An option to define the folder nameMy GitHub repository is not named the same as I'd like the plugin's folder to be named.Currently, there's no way to influence that.- The name of the last commit included in the log fileIt's rather hard to quickly confirm that all my last commits got deployed.Currently, it's almost 1am where I am, but the server is set to a different time zone so it's still yesterday.When I checked the logs, the date of the last entry was 1 day behind my current date.The reason I even checked the logs is because the browser has hashed my CSS so I couldn't see all the changes.Having the last commit message would help quickly confirming that everything was deployed properly.


Very useful plugin, works like a charm!


This is a fantastic plugin for theme or plugin development. It has proven to be helpful for our team's workflow. The free version functionality is excellent, but the Pro version is worth the upgade. Also the developer of this plugin is very responsive.
