Installable with the Extension Manager

Description

The GitHub App allows to detect changes to XWiki pages commited in GitHub and to commit XWiki pages to GitHub directly (there's no local clone done) as well as update pages from GitHub. As a nice bonus GitHubApp can generate your maven pom for your XWiki XAR module.

Prerequisites & Installation Instructions

We recommend using the Extension Manager to install this extension (Make sure that the text "Installable with the Extension Manager" is displayed at the top right location on this page to know if this extension can be installed with the Extension Manager). Note that installing Extensions when being offline is currently not supported and you'd need to use some complex manual method.

You can also use the following manual method, which is useful if this extension cannot be installed with the Extension Manager or if you're using an old version of XWiki that doesn't have the Extension Manager:

  1. Log in the wiki with a user having Administration rights
  2. Go to the Administration page and select the Import category
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the downloaded XAR
  4. Click on the uploaded XAR and follow the instructions
  5. You'll also need to install all dependent Extensions that are not already installed in your wiki

Version 1.3 installs through Extension Manager. Version 1.2.1 and before can be installed manually.
