Git Switcher

Contributors: s1m0nd Tags: git, developer, tools Requires at least: 6.9 Tested up to: 6.9 Requires PHP: 7.4 Stable tag: 1.1.0 License: GPLv2 or later License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html

Git Switcher adds a button to the Admin Bar, letting you inspect and switch branches for git-enabled plugins.

Description

Activate the plugin, and you will see a new Git Switcher button in your WordPress site's Admin Bar.

Click on it, and you will see a popover that:

lists all git-enabled plugin folders in wp-content/plugins
shows current branch per plugin folder
expands each plugin to list local branches
switches branches directly from the UI
provides a Settings tab for configuring git binary path

Requirements

WordPress with admin bar enabled
User with manage_options capability
Local development environment where PHP can execute git commands

Settings

Use the popover Settings tab to set git binary path (optional):

/usr/bin/git
/opt/homebrew/bin/git
/usr/local/bin/git

If not set, Git Switcher attempts these common paths automatically.

Testing

Click the link below to spin up a WordPress Playground instance, and see Git Switcher in action. Note: Playground does not include a git binary, so you can preview most of the UI, but not all of the functionality.
