This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/wp-api/live-settings/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

That's it!

Using in Plugins

Live Settings automatically attaches to all pages under the Settings menu in the admin. This should work automatically on plugin settings pages as well, however you will need to register your settings:

add_action( 'rest_api_init', __NAMESPACE__ . '\\register_settings' );

function register_settings() {
    register_setting( 'optiongroup', 'my_custom_setting', array(
        'type'         => 'boolean',
        'show_in_rest' => true,
    ));
}

Live Settings will attach to your page and automatically discover the settings input fields that match.
