🚀 Next Steps

1. Create GitHub Repository

# On GitHub, create new public repository: wp-code-check
# Then push this distribution:

cd wp-code-check-public
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial public release v1.0.58"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_ORG/wp-code-check.git
git push -u origin main

2. Update Repository URLs

Replace YOUR_ORG in these files:

  • README.md (badges, links)
  • CONTRIBUTING.md (issue links)
  • .github/workflows/ci.yml (if needed)

3. Add License

Once license is selected, replace LICENSE file with actual license text.

4. Configure GitHub Repository

Settings to configure:

  • ✅ Description: "Fast, zero-dependency WordPress performance analyzer"
  • ✅ Website: https://wpcodecheck.com
  • ✅ Topics: wordpress, performance, security, static-analysis, code-quality
  • ✅ Enable Issues
  • ✅ Enable Discussions (optional)
  • ✅ Branch protection for main (require PR reviews)

5. Create Release

# Tag the release
git tag -a v1.0.58 -m "Initial public release"
git push origin v1.0.58

# Create GitHub Release with:
# - Title: "v1.0.58 - Initial Public Release"
# - Description: See CHANGELOG.md for features
# - Attach: None needed (users clone the repo)
