If you have a build / deployment process for your site, it’s often useful to have a way to execute code in your theme or plugins after you commit or deploy your code changes.
GitHub, Bitbucket, and Beanstalk are common tools that allow you to configure a webhook URL that gets called as soon as you make a check-in or deployment.
Common uses are
<ul>
<li>Purge the cache after you deploy new theme code (WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache)</li>
<li>After you build your JavaScript/CSS, trigger a backup of the live site</li>
<li>Trigger any WordPress hook</li>
<li>Run any other plugin or theme code you wish!</li>
</ul>

The plugin is also <a href="https://github.com/jaredcobb/post-deployment-hook" rel="nofollow ugc">hosted on GitHub</a>. Pull requests are welcome!

Use Snippy to quickly create your own custom shortcodes.
A Snippy shortcode is built by combining bits. A bit can be a file, like a Stylesheet or a Script, or a piece of code, like HTML, CSS or JavaScript.
The “code” bits can contain placeholders, which are automatically made accessible as shortcode attributes.
Time for a quick example.
Let’s create a shortcode to embed YouTube videos. We’ll add an HTML bit and set the it’s value to the YouTube embed iframe.
<pre><code><iframe src="https://youtube/embed/JZYYJY4yoK4"/>
</code></pre>
Now to make this bit a bit more flexible we will replace the YouTube video id with a placeholder value <code>{{id}}</code>.
<pre><code><iframe src="https://youtube/embed/{{id}}"/>
</code></pre>
Yay! We’ve finished our first bit!
Now we can create a new Snippy shortcode and add the YouTube iFrame HTML bit. After saving the shortcode we can use our new and shiny YouTube shortcode in the text editor.
<pre><code>[youtube id=JZYYJY4yoK4]
</code></pre>

The below 3 minute YouTube video shows how you can use Snippy to turn a jQuery plugin into a WordPress plugin.
