Comment forms allow some HTML, this plugin extends that to let users type in <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/" rel="nofollow ugc">Markdown</a> and have it automatically converted to HTML. It also extends Markdown with a couple features made popular <a href="https://github.com/github/github-flavored-markdown" rel="nofollow ugc">by GitHub</a>. Conversion from Markdown to HTML is completely automated and doesn’t require anything on the commenter’s part.
The feature additions from GitHub are:
<ul>
<li>Single linebreaks are treated as new paragraphs</li>
<li>Code “fencing” with three backticks (“`)</li>
</ul>
Two notable features from GitHub’s Markdown implementation are missing:
<ul>
<li>To do lists: Doing these well would require some front end interaction, which I decided is outside the scope of this plugin at least for now</li>
<li>Repository autolinking (e.g. comments, issues, etc): These seemed a little too GitHub-specific.</li>
</ul>
GitHub-Flavored Markdown Comments is developed, unsurprisingly, <a href="https://github.com/evansolomon/wp-github-flavored-markdown-comments" rel="nofollow ugc">on GitHub</a>.

Plugin that allows you to embed details from GitHub just by pasting in the URL as you would any other embed source. Currently supports:
<ul>
<li>Repositories</li>
<li>User profiles</li>
<li>Project milestone summaries</li>
<li>Project contributors</li>
</ul>
Coming soon:
<ul>
<li>Gists…</li>
</ul>
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 <a href="https://github.com/leewillis77/wp-github-oembed" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.
<h3>Treeware</h3>
You’re free to use this package for free, but if it makes it to your production environment please <a href="https://offset.earth/ademtisoftware?gift-trees" rel="nofollow ugc">buy the world a tree</a>.

Github Embed

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

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.


Does seem to work, with this 1 simple trick
