A calmer way to ship WordPress plugins

Publishing a plugin update involves checking out a repository, copying files, tagging a release and hoping the readme parses. A single mismatch between versions can leave a release broken.

A better flow validates before anything is deployed: run the official checks, confirm versions agree, flag files that should never ship, and show a diff of exactly what will change.

Security matters as much as convenience. Credentials should stay with the developer, and every edit made along the way should be auditable.

That is the design principle behind WPUploader: nothing reaches trunk unseen.
