No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/sarahcssiqueira/wxyz-blocks/archive/refs/heads/master.zipDeclares an update source (https://sarahjobs.com/wordpress/plugins/wxyz-blocks/update), so updates arrive through the plugin's own updater.

WXYZ Blocks
A developer-focused WordPress plugin that bundles multiple Gutenberg blocks under a single plugin, plus a lightweight “framework” structure (service loader, block manager pattern, tests) to help maintain many blocks in one codebase.
This project is not intended to replace the official block scaffolding tool. If you want to scaffold a new standalone block/plugin project from scratch, use:
- npx @wordpress/create-block@latest
