I wanted to better expose stuff I’m doing on GitHub that I may not be actvely blogging about1, so I decided to pull in my GitHub activity feed and show it in the Projects page sidebar.
I created a WordPress plugin for this that includes a shortcode and sidebar widget. I’ve submitted it to WordPress.org, but now there seems to be some sort of review process before it’s available there so you can download it from GitHub now. I’ll post an update when/if it’s on WP.org.
UPDATE: You can now grab this from WordPress.org.
There are some screenshot examples in the main GitHub repo, or (as previously mentioned) you can check it out in the sidebar of my Projects page.
- Of course, the real solution is to blog more but ambient data is handy. ↩
This post is part of the project: WP GitHub Activity. View the project timeline for more context on this post.

All plugin submissions are reviewed. If your plugin is well coded, concise, and has a readme.txt, it’ll be approved ASAP. Otherwise you get an email. But yes, we’ve always reviewed every single submission ๐ so you can see why that takes a while.
Cool, I’ve been in favor of this type of process for a while. Glad to see you’re able to put it in place now. Hopefully I get approved. ๐
You were actually the first plugin on the list this morning (which is made by ‘submission time’) ๐
