## Description

Lightweight widget shortcodes to display GitHub buttons and gists on your blog. 
Includes shortcode for embedding GitHub hosted gists and buttons for:

 * Follow
 * Watch
 * Star
 * Fork
 * Download
 * Issue

The plugin implements [ntkme’s ‚github-buttons’](https://github.com/ntkme/github-buttons)
and GitHub’s gist display as shortcodes.

### Usage

GitHub Follow Button:
 Add the `[Github_User_Button user='JBarnden' size='large'
show_count='true']` shortcode in your content and replace `JBarnden` with the desired
GitHub username.

GitHub Repo Buttons:
 Add the `[Github_Repo_Button user='JBarnden' repo='wp-github-
widgets' size='large' show_count='true']` shortcode in your content, replacing `
JBarnden` with the desired GitHub username and `MyRepo` with the desired repo belonging
to the specified user. You can set the`type` attribtute to `watch`, `star`, `fork`,`
issue` or `download`.

Display Gist:
 Add the `[Gist]gist_id[/Gist]` where `gist_id` is replaced with the
id of the desired Gist.

More detailed documentation can be found [here](https://github.com/JBarnden/wp-github-widgets#usage).
