GitSwag displays data from a Github account using Github’s public API. In order to avoid 
rate-limiting, it caches the JSON from the API locally, and refers to that whenever 
available. You can display a user profile, list of repositories, header for a single 
repository, preview files or gists.
<h3>Administration</h3>
In “GitSwag” under the settings tab, enter your github username, select the 
“update cache” checkbox and submit to change your username. Files under that 
username can be deleted by checking the box next to the file and submitting.
Any changes you make to your github repo won’t be reflected immediately by 
the plugin, you’ll have to manually delete the cache first.
<h3>Composer Updating</h3>
This plugin includes <a href="Composer" rel="nofollow ugc">http://getcomposer.org</a> and an autoloader to implement 
the <a href="Parsedown" rel="nofollow ugc">http://parsedown.org/</a> library.
To save a bit of space, composer.phar isn’t included with this plugin.
Parsedown is [https://github.com/erusev/parsedown/blob/master/LICENSE.txt](MIT licensed)
<h3>Shortcode</h3>
Display the profile of a single user 
[gitswag_user_view github_username=”username”]
Display a list of repos for a user 
[gitswag_repo_list github_username=”username”]
View data for a repository 
[gitswag_repo_view github_username=”username” github_repo=”reponame”]
Preview a file 
[gitswag_file_view github_username=”username” github_repo=”reponame” path=”path/to/” filename=”file.txt”]
List gists by a user 
[gitswag_gist_list github_username=”username”]
Preview a gist 
[gitswag_gist_view gist_id=”id”]
display the readme for a repo 
[gitswag_readme github_username=”username” github_repo=”reponame”]
<h3>Administration</h3>
Because the public github API is rate limited, this plugin will download and keep a cached 
version of the .json files and readme markdown from API calls locally, and will need to be deleted 
in the admin panel when a change needs to be reflected. You can select a file and submit to delete them.

GitSwag

Integrate various Github API-driven shortcodes into your pages.

dflydev

This project is available for forking on GitHub:
<ul>
<li>https://github.com/dflydev/embed-github-gist</li>
</ul>
Embed <a href="http://github.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a> <a href="http://gist.github.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Gists</a> into 
WordPress. Provides a shortcode for posts and pages but also has the ability 
to embed by hand in the event that a Gist needs to be embedded somewhere in 
the page that does not pass through the shortcode filters.
Examples:
<pre><code>[gist id=546764]
[gist id=546764 file=file.txt]
[gist id=546764 file=file.txt bump=1]
[gist]http://gist.github.com/546764[/gist]
</code></pre>
Cache is implemented with the Transients API to minimize delay on loading 
content. Default TTL (time to live) is 86400 seconds or one day.
<h4>Upcoming features:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Option for setting default TTL</li>
<li>Option to bypass cache entirely</li>
<li>Implement admin interface to control options</li>
</ul>
