GitHub is an awesome place to host your open source project code. MooTools, Prototype, and jQuery all use GitHub. As you probably know, the MooTools Forge requires your plugins be hosted on GitHub. The only problem with hosting all my MooTools plugins is that I lose traffic when I want people to see my code. Problem solved: use PHP, the GitHub API, and PHP Markdown to display files of my choice on my website.

The next step is to create another PHP function that grabs the repository information (JSON-encoded, because I love JSON) -- either fresh from GitHub (by first grabbing the most recent commit hash, then grabbing the contents of the two files) or our local cached information:
Once we've acquired the appropriate information, we output the information to screen:
Git Project Readme
That's all! Now I get the benefit of hosting my code on GitHub but displaying it on my own website. I've created a special WordPress template page to do so and recommend you do too!
