Description

The Git Download Updater addon connects Git repositories directly to Easy Digital Downloads, automating the release of new digital product versions from commits and tags on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. The extension reads the configured repository, identifies marked releases, and updates the product’s download file in the store, eliminating manual ZIP package uploads for each new version delivered to the end customer.
