## Description

If you are a programmer who uses GitHub then why not share your coding projects 
via your WordPress blog by adding a snapshot
 of your repository on any page or 
post using shortcode.

Simply install the plugin and add the shortcode [gitrepo author=”author” repo=”repo”]
to the desired location; changing the attributes to that of your desired repository.

Features include:

 * Cached using Transient
 * Styles appearance with a GitHub banner
 * Shows the repository description
 * Adds a link to the repository on GitHub
 * Shows statistics for Forks, Stars, Open Issues
 * Provides a link to the latest tag (if one exists)
 * Displays the code to clone the repository
 * Can be used with or without a GitHub API Token

No… Although it is recommended, especially if you wish to have the cache timeout
