Title: Posts to GitHub Author: gioxx Published: July 28, 2026 Last modified: July 28, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/posts-to-github-md.svg) # Posts to GitHub By [gioxx](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gioxx/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/posts-to-github-md.1.5.13.zip) * [Details](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/posts-to-github-md/#description) * [Reviews](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/posts-to-github-md/#reviews) * [Installation](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/posts-to-github-md/#installation) * [Development](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/posts-to-github-md/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/posts-to-github-md/) ## Description Posts to GitHub exports your published posts as Markdown files, with YAML front matter, to an existing GitHub repository (public or private). The goal is to build, over time, a text corpus of your writing that’s useful for training or guiding a consistent writing style in tools like Claude. Features: * Export a single post from its edit screen, with live status and trace log * Bulk export from a dedicated Posts screen: filters, pagination, multi-page selection, stoppable progress * Single commit and push for the whole bulk export batch by default (opt out for one commit per post), with automatic retry on GitHub rate limits either way * Optional automatic export of newly published posts and automatic re-export of updated posts, both in the background via WP-Cron * Read- only view of posts that were exported but are no longer published (draft, private, scheduled or trashed) * Connection test and automatic branch detection against the configured GitHub repository * WP-CLI commands for scripted single or bulk exports* English by default, with an included Italian translation * Git Updater compatible for seamless updates from GitHub The plugin never creates the repository, never uploads binary images (they stay as absolute links to the source site), and only works on published `post` content. ### External services This plugin connects to GitHub’s REST API (`api.github.com`) to write your exported posts to a repository you own and configure. It is a core, opt-in part of the plugin’s function: nothing is sent until you set a Personal Access Token and target repository in Settings and trigger an export (manually, in bulk, or via the optional automatic- export setting). On each export, the plugin sends the post title, content converted to Markdown, and basic metadata (date, categories, tags, slug) as the file content of a commit to the repository and branch you configured. It also calls the API to test the connection, detect the default branch, and read/create the file/commit needed for the export. No data is sent to any third party other than GitHub, and no data is sent unless you have explicitly configured the plugin. This service is provided by GitHub, Inc.: [GitHub Terms of Service](https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service) and [GitHub Privacy Statement](https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-privacy-statement). ## Installation 1. Copy the whole plugin folder to `wp-content/plugins/post-to-github-md/` (the `vendor/` folder with dependencies is already included: no need to run Composer). 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Go to **Settings Posts to GitHub** and configure a GitHub Personal Access Token and target repository. 4. Export posts individually from the post edit screen, in bulk from **Posts Export to GitHub**, or automatically on publish via the “Automatic export” setting. ## FAQ ### Does this create the GitHub repository for me? No, the target repository must already exist before configuring the plugin. ### Does it upload images? No. Images in the post content remain absolute links to your site; nothing binary is uploaded to GitHub. ### What post types are supported? Only the `post` post type, with “published” status. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Posts to GitHub” is open source software.

[Browse the code](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/posts-to-github-md/), check out the [SVN repository](https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/posts-to-github-md/), or subscribe to the [development log](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/posts-to-github-md/) by [RSS](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/posts-to-github-md/?limit=100&mode=stop_on_copy&format=rss). ## Changelog #### 1.5.13 * First release published to the WordPress.org SVN repository. * Fixed the bundled `POTOGH_VERSION` constant, which was out of sync with the plugin header. * Release packaging now strips `vendor/*/bin` directories, addressing a WordPress. org review note about non-plugin files in the distributed zip. #### 1.5.12 * Aligned the text domain with the plugin slug (`posts-to-github-md`) across all files and the plugin header. * Sanitized the `branch` and `base_folder` settings with `sanitize_text_field()` instead of trimming only. * Removed bundled translation files (`.po`/`.mo`/`.pot`); translations are now handled via translate.wordpress.org. #### 1.5.11 * The export status text (“Exported on …”) in the bulk export table is now a direct link to the file on GitHub, opening in a new tab. * Added the `Release Asset: true` plugin header so Git Updater installs the clean production zip instead of the raw `main` branch zip. #### 1.5.10 * Silenced the remaining informational `meta_query` slow-query warnings from the WordPress Plugin Check tool with justified `phpcs:ignore` annotations: the plugin’s export-status filters query its own `_potogh_exported_at`/`_potogh_path` post meta and have no WP_Query alternative. #### 1.5.9 * Fixed remaining WordPress Plugin Check findings from a second review pass: nonce- verification and input-sanitization ignore annotations that only covered part of a multi-line statement now cover the whole block. #### 1.5.8 * Addressed WordPress Plugin Check findings ahead of directory submission: missing translators comments, unordered placeholders, unescaped pagination output, missing ABSPATH guard, deprecated load_plugin_textdomain() call, and outdated “Tested up to” header. #### 1.5.7 * Failed exports now record an error message on the post, shown as a warning in the post edit metabox, the bulk export table, and the “Exported, no longer published” view, instead of failing silently in the background. * “Exported, no longer published” view: added “Delete from GitHub” and “Ignore” actions per post. * Fixed “Invalid request. sha wasn’t supplied” error when re-exporting a post whose GitHub file sha wasn’t recorded locally: the plugin now looks up the file’s current sha on GitHub before writing, instead of only relying on cached post meta. #### 1.5.6 * The bulk export screen’s “posts per page” is now set via the native WordPress Screen Options panel instead of a custom dropdown. * Faster pagination on the bulk export screen: most filter combinations now paginate at the database level instead of loading every matching post into memory. #### 1.5.5 * Plugin renamed from “WordPress Posts to GitHub” to “Posts to GitHub” to comply with the WordPress trademark policy. #### 1.5.4 * “Test connection” moved next to the Repository field. * The Repository field is now locked (read-only) once a repository is configured; click “Change repository” to unlock and edit it. #### 1.5.3 * “Save Changes” on the Settings page no longer requires re-running “Test connection” on every visit; only the first setup or changes to token/repository/branch require it. #### 1.5.2 * Added a “Settings” quick link on the Plugins list screen. * The author’s name in the Settings page footer now links to gioxx.org. * Settings page title changed to “Export posts to GitHub: Settings” for clarity. #### 1.5.1 * Category and tag filters on the bulk export screen now show a live post count per term, computed against the currently active filters. * Bulk export now uses the single-commit batch method only when 2 or more posts are selected; exporting a single post always uses the per-post commit flow, regardless of the “Bulk export method” setting. * Bulk export no longer force-reloads the page when done; status icons and stat tiles already update live, and successfully exported posts are automatically deselected. * Fixed a fatal error on the export screen caused by the wrong taxonomy name being used for tag counts. #### 1.5.0 * Bulk export now writes the whole selected batch to GitHub in a single commit and push (via the Git Data API) instead of one commit per post, cutting API calls from ~2N to about 5 and largely avoiding rate limits. Opt-out setting included to keep one commit per post. #### 1.4.0 * Add optional automatic re-export of updated posts, a read-only view of exported- but-unpublished posts, automatic retry on GitHub rate limits, uninstall data cleanup (with an opt-out setting), and WP-CLI commands. #### 1.3.0 * Add optional automatic export of newly published posts, scheduled via WP-Cron so the Publish button is never delayed. #### 1.2.0 * Unify bulk export into its own Posts screen, with filters (status, search, category, tag, month), WP-native pagination, multi-page selection, a stoppable live progress/ log panel, and export status stat tiles. * Add GitHub connection test and automatic branch detection in Settings. * Numerous UX refinements and bug fixes across the settings and export screens ( spinners, icon/status sync, layout, accessibility). #### 1.1.0 * Add plugin metadata, repository URL parsing, status icons, and full English/Italian localization. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release: single-post and bulk export to a GitHub repository via the Contents API. ## Meta * Version **1.5.13** * Last updated **16 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.2** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/posts-to-github-md/) * Tags * [backup](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/backup/)[export](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/export/) [Github](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/github/)[markdown](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/markdown/) * [Advanced View](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/posts-to-github-md/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
