Widget Shortcodes for Github

Lightweight widget shortcodes to display GitHub buttons and gists on your blog.

James Robinson

A simple plugin that enables a shortcode for embedding Gist code in WordPress.
The shortcode has two attributes, the Gist source URL and, optionally, the height of the embedded code window.
<pre><code>[gist src="" height=""]
</code></pre>
The Gist <code>src</code> attribute must be the embed URL, for example: https://gist.github.com/imaginarymedia/316a29936e5e7d709665.js
The Gist <code>height</code> attribute is optional and can be any value with a valid CSS unit measure: em, %, px, vh, etc. It will apply a max-height to the gist.
The plugin also creates UI buttons for both the visual and text editors.
