AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Github README is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 4 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Jason Stallings — established developer track record

How Github README works
Github README is a plugin that allows you to embed markdown from GitHub in a page or post using a simple shortcode.
Usage:
github_readme
This shortcode embeds the project’s readme.
[github_readme repo=”octalmage/Marknote”]
You can also trim lines from the top of the readme using the “trim” option:
[github_readme repo=”octalmage/Marknote” trim=”3″]
This is useful for removing titles since your page/post will most likely already have one.
github_markdown
This shortcode embeds any markdown file found in the repository.
[github_markdown repo=”octalmage/Marknote” file=”README.md”]
trim, branch, and cache (seconds to cache) also supported.
github_wikipage
This shortcode embeds pages from a project’s wiki.
[github_wikipage repo=”octalmage/Marknote” page=”Syntax”]
trim and cache also supported.
