    Hi,

    Saw you talking about Git Updater. If we add those headers, will it conflict with the normal updates from WordPress.org?

    GitHub Plugin URI: afragen/git-updater

    No it will not conflict.

    WordPress Core will default to using the updates from WP.org

    The headers are more of a backup in that case. You can disable WP.org updates using a code snippet for any given theme or plugin if you want to use Git instead

    FYI:

    LittleBizzy’s new plugin RepoMan will resolve any namespace conflicts between GitHub (Git Updater based plugins) and WordPress.org based plugins:

    how does “RepoMan” GitHub plugin search work?
