WordPress GitHub Integration

Seamlessly connect your GitHub repositories to WordPress Download Manager

Distribute your software, plugins, themes, and code packages directly from GitHub. No more manual uploads – just connect, select, and publish.

The Problem

Managing software downloads is tedious. Every time you push a new release to GitHub, you have to:

1. Download the ZIP from GitHub
2. Log into WordPress
3. Upload the file manually
4. Update the version number
5. Repeat for every single release…

There has to be a better way.

The Solution

WPDM GitHub Integration bridges your GitHub repositories with WordPress Download Manager, automating your entire software distribution workflow.

Connect Once, Distribute Forever

Link your GitHub account with a single click. Access all your repositories – public and private – directly from your WordPress dashboard.

Automatic Updates with Webhooks

Set up a webhook once, and forget about manual updates forever. When you publish a new release on GitHub:

• The latest version is automatically downloaded
• Version numbers sync instantly
• Your users always get the freshest code

Beautiful Repository Browser

Browse your repositories in a sleek, modern interface. Search, filter, and attach repos in seconds – not minutes.

Key Features

One-Click GitHub Connection

Secure OAuth authentication. No API tokens to copy-paste. Just click “Connect” and authorize.

Smart Repository Browser

• Search across all your repositories
• See branch names and release tags at a glance
• Visual indicators for recent updates
• Works with both public and private repos

Automatic Version Sync

Release tags from GitHub automatically update your download’s version number. Your changelog stays accurate without lifting a finger.

Webhook-Powered Updates

GitHub webhooks trigger instant file updates. Push a release, and your WordPress site updates itself.

Private Repository Support

Distribute proprietary software securely. Your private repos stay private – only authorized downloads get through.

Clean File Management

All GitHub downloads are organized in a dedicated folder. Easy to manage, easy to backup.
