<p>Ever wish you could collaboratively author content for your WordPress site (or expose change history publicly and accept pull requests from your readers)?</p>
<p>Looking to tinker with Jekyll, but wish you could use WordPress’s best-of-breed web editing interface instead of Atom? (gasp!)</p>
<p>Well, now you can! Introducing <a href="https://github.com/mAAdhaTTah/wordpress-github-sync" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress  GitHub Sync</a>!</p>
<h4>WordPress  GitHub Sync does three things:</h4>
<ol>
<li>Allows content publishers to version their content in GitHub, exposing “who made what change when” to readers</li>
<li>Allows readers to submit proposed improvements to WordPress-served content via GitHub’s Pull Request model</li>
<li>Allows non-technical writers to draft and edit a Jekyll site in WordPress’s best-of-breed editing interface</li>
</ol>
<h4>WordPress  GitHub sync might be able to do some other cool things:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Allow teams to collaboratively write and edit posts using GitHub (e.g., pull requests, issues, comments)</li>
<li>Allow you to sync the content of two different WordPress installations via GitHub</li>
<li>Allow you to stage and preview content before “deploying” to your production server</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<p>The sync action is based on two hooks:</p>
<ol>
<li>A per-post sync fired in response to WordPress’s <code>save_post</code> hook which pushes content to GitHub</li>
<li>A sync of all changed files triggered by GitHub’s <code>push</code> webhook (outbound API call)</li>
</ol>


WordPress  GitHub Sync

A WordPress plugin to sync content with a GitHub repository (or Jekyll site)

<p>This plugin is built to be used on production servers which are version-controlled with Git.  If plugins are updated directly on production, they can get out of sync with the repo, and later pushes to the server might “roll back” plugin updates which weren’t committed to the repo.</p>
<p>Users who try to update a plugin via the Plugins screen will get a modal window asking for confirmation.  Admins can also block updates entirely, so users will still get the modal window but will only have a cancel button.</p>
<p>The modal title and modal content are admin-configurable through the options page.</p>
<p>Please understand, we’re not advocating <em>not</em> updating plugins.  You should still update all the things with the quickness.  Just do it in the repo and push the changes to the server.</p>


Protect Version Controlled Updates

This plugin warns or prevents users from updating plugins on a Git version-controlled server.
