Biggest opportunity: “api”, “github” and “portfolio” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 1.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.

How it's tracked →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.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| api your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| github your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| portfolio your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| repositories your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shortcode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Michael Kupietz1.5y ago
It works, but it displays all your Github repos, with no controls or options at all. Which is great in the case that you want a page that displays every last one of your Github repos with no possibility of customization from the default. But it you are trying to hilight or make a page of one repo or specific repos, you’ll need to find another plugin. Unfortunately I don’t find this extremely limited use case very useful, and it should be made much more clear before spending time to install this and grab a GH token.

I installed this plugin on a my portfolio website which I’m building to showcase my GH respositories and the integration with my github account worked seamlessly, pulling in all the essential details of repos. It’s a fantastic tool for developers wanting to display their work elegantly. Highly recommended for anyone with a GitHub portfolio!
