hub2wp is a free and open, GitHub-based plugin repository that makes it easy to discover and install WordPress plugins hosted on GitHub.
It works by scanning public GitHub repositories that have the wordpress-plugin
topic. It is a read-only service, and no code is hosted on hub2wp. All plugin details are retrieved directly from GitHub.
The complementary hub2wp Plugin can be used to install and update GitHub plugins directly from your WordPress dashboard, just like you would with plugins from the official WordPress Plugin Directory.
To be listed in hub2wp, a plugin must:
- Be hosted on GitHub as a public repository.
- Have the topic
wordpress-plugin
added to the repository. - Have a
readme.txt
or aREADME.md
in the root directory and include aStable tag
header.
Once these requirements are met, the plugin will automatically appear in the hub2wp Plugin Repo. Due to technical constraints, it may take up to 24 hours for a plugin to appear after meeting the requirements.
