    I literally could not tell you what went wrong, but I strongly recommend you don’t use this plugin unless you’re very good at what you do. I installed/activated plugin. Added the SSH key to my github account, made and initialized a new repo, and hit confirm. It sent me to the success URL, which it said I didn’t have permission to view. Whatever, I thought, WP is weird sometimes. I went back to wp-admin/ and noticed that there was an error up top. And…that my sidebar was completely reset to default. I checked my plugins, and was met with many errors that my plugins could not be shown because the files were missing. My theme is also completely nuked. And, of course, I don’t have a recent backup because I am a fool. So don’t be like me. Use this plugin very much at your own risk, and absolutely take regular manual backups of your stuff.

    Hi, @katuchan! I apologize for the issue you have encountered with our plugin. Unfortunately, it is challenging for us to determine the cause of the problem. After your review, I conducted several tests on websites hosted on different servers and was unable to replicate this behavior. To facilitate a more thorough investigation of our plugin on our end, we kindly request additional information from you:

    1. Could you please confirm whether your website is hosted on a VPS or shared hosting platform?
    2. Can you provide the PHP version you were utilizing?
    3. Could you please provide information regarding the operating system configured on the server?
    4. “It sent me to the success URL, which it said I didn’t have permission to view” – do you remember how the error looked like? Was a page with the WP dashboard or something from the server?

    Looking forward to your answer!
