GitHub-Buttons

The GitHub-Buttons package allows developers to embed the following GitHub buttons:
- Fork
- Star
- Watch
- Follow @username

All buttons are available in two sizes (small & large), do not use iframes, are extremely lightweight, and don't slow down the page while loading.

For each button a custom text and counter can be set, and the JS code can easily be ported to work with other JS libraries and frameworks (besides jQuery and MooTools).

A demo is included with the download package.

What is new in this release:

• API Endpoints are changed to repos/:owner/:repo and users/:owner to avoid counter limitations
