Deployer for Git

Reviewers call it simple and a big time saver for deploying themes and plugins from Git, they praise fast helpful developer responses and fair Pro pricing, and a couple ask for wider cache plugin and custom GitLab domain support.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

12 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 9 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 18 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 600.

At the current install trend, crossing 700+ in roughly 157 days.

   This is a fantastic plugin for theme or plugin development. It has proven to be helpful for our team’s workflow. The free version functionality is excellent, but the Pro version is worth the upgade. Also the developer of this plugin is very responsive.

   I had a client that has a bit unusual server setup so we had problems setting up GitHub Actions and making them work.The client has paid for the Pro version since our repositories are private.Everything worked like charm – after pushing my changes I simply went to wp-admin and clicked a button to pull the changes from GitHub.We have 3 repositories on that website.Then I realized that each repository has a special deployment link, so I created GitHub Action to do a GET request to that URL, and that worked like a charm, even behind the basic auth that the website uses.So now our changes get deployed automatically.Definitely a great and simple solution than setting up the pipelines which always cause problems on different platforms.Good job! EDIT:I found 2 features I’d like to see in the next version:– An option to define the folder nameMy GitHub repository is not named the same as I’d like the plugin’s folder to be named.Currently, there’s no way to influence that.– The name of the last commit included in the log fileIt’s rather hard to quickly confirm that all my last commits got deployed.Currently, it’s almost 1am where I am, but the server is set to a different time zone so it’s still yesterday.When I checked the logs, the date of the last entry was 1 day behind my current date.The reason I even checked the logs is because the browser has hashed my CSS so I couldn’t see all the changes.Having the last commit message would help quickly confirming that everything was deployed properly.

   If you want a simple way to sync a repo with your files, this is probably the most straightforward plugin. Asked the developers to support for custom gitlab domains and within a day I got the featuerd implemented. Looking forward to continue to use this plugin in the future.
