Biggest opportunity: Swap “revision” and “version control” for “bitbucket” and “deployment”. “revision” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bitbucket” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “version control” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “deployment” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 25K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| presslabs your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| gitium your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| git your tag | #3 | #6 | up 1 |

16 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 11 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “revision” and “version control” for “bitbucket” and “deployment”. “revision” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bitbucket” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “version control” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “deployment” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

I literally could not tell you what went wrong, but I strongly recommend you don’t use this plugin unless you’re very good at what you do. I installed/activated plugin. Added the SSH key to my github account, made and initialized a new repo, and hit confirm. It sent me to the success URL, which it said I didn’t have permission to view. Whatever, I thought, WP is weird sometimes. I went back to wp-admin/ and noticed that there was an error up top. And…that my sidebar was completely reset to default. I checked my plugins, and was met with many errors that my plugins could not be shown because the files were missing. My theme is also completely nuked. And, of course, I don’t have a recent backup because I am a fool. So don’t be like me. Use this plugin very much at your own risk, and absolutely take regular manual backups of your stuff.

Cool plugin

lI would of given it five stars is it had better documentation. The step that it needs is simple. from terminal type: cd /path/to/your/root/folder git init git remote add origin https://username:password@<url>/group/project.git git push -u origin –all # pushes up the repo and its refs for the first time git push -u origin –tags # pushes up any tags once you do that then it will work well so far with no problem so far.

Most of the time I want to do changes quickly with WPIDE and gitium let me do this thing, but keep code history on github also which is great!

Git alone is awesome, but keeping track of the changes made on a website via git is even more awesome.
