<p>Git it Write allows to publish the markdown files present in a GitHub repository to your WordPress site. So with this plugin, whenever the files are added, updated in the repository the WordPress post will be added, updated accordingly.</p>
<p>This plugin is inspired from static site generators like <code>Jekyll</code>, <code>Next.js</code>, <code>Gatsby.js</code> on how content is written is markdown. This is a similar idea for WordPress where markdown files are parsed from GitHub and published as posts.</p>
<p>👓 <strong>Live example:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/vaakash/aakash-web" rel="nofollow ugc">Source github repository</a> (<code>/docs/</code> folder) to <a href="https://www.aakashweb.com/docs/" rel="nofollow ugc">Posts published</a></p>
<p>⚡ <strong>Getting started:</strong> <a href="https://www.aakashweb.com/docs/git-it-write/getting-started/" rel="nofollow ugc">Get started</a> with Git it write. Learn how to write <code>.md</code> files and publish posts on WordPress.</p>
<p>This allows people to collaborate with the post, share edits and suggestions in GitHub which when pulled the WordPress post will be updated automatically.</p>
<p>If a repository has files in the below structure,</p>
<pre><code>docs/
    guide/
        introduction.md
        getting-started.md
help/
    faq.md
</code></pre>
<p>Then below posts will be created like below (if permalinks are configured and the post type supports “hierarchy” i.e creating posts level by level (example: pages))</p>
<pre><code>https://example.com/docs/guide/introduction/
https://example.com/docs/guide/getting-started/

Markdown Editor (Formerly Dark Mode)

Another case of someone buying an abandoned plugin to take advantage of its large userbase and completely repurposing it for a quick and easy profit. Stay away!

Another hijacked plugin

The plugin is advertised on wp.org as having a markdown editor -in fact, the entire description on wp.org talks about that specific feature-, but that's only available as a paid feature. 

Seriously, I regret not reading the other reviews that said as much but this plugin is obnoxious. 

Bait and Switch

Not the same plugin as in screenshoots.


I needed a plugin that supports Markdown in the editor. This seems to have a number of different features, but the only one that I can't use without upgrading is the title Markdown feature. Bait and switch. 


Doesn't have the title feature


I believe this plugin is in violation of the WordPress terms. You can't access its main feature "markdown editor" without paying. The free version only has a dark mode/light mode toggle.


Plugin doesn't deliver markdown
