A module for taking content from Wordpress instances and pushing the HTML content and JSON meta to Github.
The service scans a list of WordPress projects. Each project's WordPress site is queried through the WordPress API. The service compares the objects from the API to the project's target GitHub branch. Content changes are recorded in GitHub as commits.
The service will ask WordPress for object counts and last updated timestamps (and cache them) to determine if it should run. If you are working on the WordPress API output without updating the content itself, changes may not appear until the cache is reset.
There are a few configuration files that need to be used.
Controls how the service will place content in GitHub. This file belongs in your target repo (such as drought.ca.gov).
