Whenever you create, update, or delete an article in Bludit, the plugin pushes the change to a GitHub repository via the GitHub API. Each article is exported as its own folder containing an index.md file:

my-article/
  index.md
another-post/
  index.md

Each index.md contains a YAML frontmatter block followed by the article content:

---
title: "My Article"
date: 2026-05-01
slug: my-article
status: published
tags:
  - php
  - bludit
description: "Optional meta description"
category: tech

Installation

Copy the bludit-github folder into your Bludit bl-plugins/ directory.
Go to Admin → Plugins and enable GitHub Export.
Open the plugin settings and fill in your GitHub credentials.

Settings

Field	Description
Personal Access Token	A GitHub token with `repo` scope. Generate one here.
Repository Owner	Your GitHub username or organization name.
Repository Name	The target repository (e.g. `my-blog`).
Branch	Branch to push to (default: `main`).
Path Prefix	Optional subfolder prefix. Leave empty to export at the repo root.
Export drafts	When checked, draft articles are also exported.

Bulk export

The settings page includes an Export all articles now button that pushes all your existing articles to GitHub in one go. Useful on first install or after changing the target repository.

Behavior

On article save: the article's index.md is created or updated in the repository.
On article delete: the article's index.md is deleted from the repository (GitHub removes the empty folder automatically).
Errors are displayed in the plugin settings panel and never interfere with Bludit's own save process.
