## Description

Widget that grabs a random Octocat from the GitHub octodex and the latest commit
from the master branch of a public GitHub repository. It can be used as a normal
widget by going to Apperance > Widgets, by adding the shortcode `[wpgrc username
="username"]` in your post editor, or by adding `<?php wpgrc( array( 'username' 
=> 'username' ); ?>`. You can checkout a live demo of all three [here][demo](http://demo.danholloran.com/github-commit-widget-demo/)
and get more information about all three under the installation tab. **Plugin Home
