Gitvise
=======

[](#gitvise)

WordPress PHP library for plugin updates from **GitHub releases**: uses the latest release tag as the version and the release ZIP (or zipball) as the package.

**Requirements:** PHP 7.4+, WordPress 5.0+

---

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require ernilambar/gitvise
```

In your plugin, load the library via its entry point:

```
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/ernilambar/gitvise/init.php';
```

---

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Nilambar\Gitvise\Updater;

$updater = new Updater( 'your-github-user/your-repo-name', __FILE__ );
$updater->init();
```

**Optional:** Third argument = custom update slug (when plugin dir name differs from desired slug). Fourth argument = GitHub personal access token (for higher API rate limit).

```
$updater = new Updater( 'user/repo', __FILE__, 'repo-slug', 'ghp_your_token' );
$updater->init();
```

---

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

On each update check, the library fetches the latest release from the GitHub API, compares the tag (e.g. `v1.2.3` → `1.2.3`) with the installed version from WordPress’s transient, and populates the update with the first ZIP asset or the zipball URL. The `plugins_api` filter is handled so “View details” shows release info.

Create a structure for timely controlled tables (e.g. events) and one plugin for the different output of calendar views (list, detail, month, year, day, week...). The extension is shipped with one default event table, but you can also 'calendarize' your own table/model. It is completely independent and configurable! Use your own models as event items in this calender. Development on https://github.com/lochmueller/calendarize
