Easy Digital Downloads - Git Download Updater

Selling plugins, themes or other digital goods through Easy Digital Downloads usually means packaging each release by hand and uploading it to the store. That takes time, and a missed step can leave customers with an old version. Easy Digital Downloads – Git Download Updater removes that routine by linking the product to the repository where you already do your development work.

Once connected, the plugin syncs updates straight from your Git repository to your store. You can control which release goes out by working with your branches or tags, and you can give customers update messages and changelogs. It works with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket, so it fits the development setup you already have.

Features

• Direct Git repository sync: The plugin pulls updates from your Git repository into your Easy Digital Downloads store, so a release in Git becomes the version your customers receive.
• Automated product updates: Plugins, themes and other digital goods sold through Easy Digital Downloads stay current without manual uploads or any action from the customer.
• Version control from branches and tags: Manage which release version is delivered by working directly with your Git branches or tags, keeping what you ship consistent with your repository.
