Hi!
Well I am not familiar with github and even less with sync tools between github and the WordPress plugins repo. That’s why I did not setup a github repo yet.
In case of bugs, you can simply send me a patch. For new features, I prefer plugins. This is how I develop new features myself.
Hey Chouby!
There is an awesome tutorial on git that GitHub has on there website:
https://try.github.io
Once you grasp the basics, it is really an amazing tool. A big advantage with GitHub is that you can do things like issue tracking and bugfixes, a wiki for how to use the plugin, manage contributions (with pull requests), and have discussions around certain pieces of code.

Git is basically a branching system and as the repo’s owner, you can set it up to review / approve / deny contributions so that it isn’t a free for all.
You could even set up your documentation website to be base on git so that others can contribute to expanding and organizing the documentation your currently happen.
Let me know if you are interested and want any help setting this up.
Thanks again for making such an awesome plugin!
