It versions posts, pages, terms, and optionally media metadata and original media files. Editors can preview, diff, and restore previous versions from the WordPress admin. The plugin writes and reads Git objects through the GitHub API. It does not keep a local Git repository and does not call the git CLI. Features include: * Automatic Git versions for normal post and page saves. * Side-by-side content diffs and field diffs. * Full restore and content-only restore modes. * Deleted Resources view for posts, pages, and tracked media. * Restore deleted posts/pages as new drafts and deleted media as new attachments. * Optional media metadata and file tracking. * Manual import of existing posts, pages, and media. * Version store dashboard with branch, latest commit, tracked file count, and GitHub version store status. * Direct GitHub API commits without a local Git worktree. ### External Services This plugin connects to GitHub when the “Enable GitHub version store” setting is enabled and a repository URL, branch, and personal access token are configured. When enabled, the plugin writes Git commits directly to the configured GitHub repository using the GitHub API. Commit data may include post/page content, metadata, term references, media metadata, and media files if media tracking is enabled. The GitHub version store is disabled by default. No data is sent to GitHub unless a site administrator enables and configures it. Without the GitHub version store, this plugin does not keep durable local Git versions.

The plugin reads and writes versions through the GitHub API without a local Git repository. ### Does this replace WordPress revisions? No. It adds a Git-backed version history for selected WordPress resources. ### Does the GitHub version store run by default? No. The GitHub version store is disabled until an administrator enables it and provides a repository URL, branch, and token. Without GitHub configured, versions are not durably stored and the plugin does not keep a local Git repository. ### What happens if GitHub API writes fail? The version is not stored. Configure GitHub before relying on the plugin for durable version history. ### Are media files stored in Git? Only when media tracking is enabled. In that mode, referenced media metadata and files are committed directly to GitHub. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Content Version for Git” is open source software.
