# GitHub Plugin URI left blank

 * In the Plugin Header the following line is left with some dummy/placeholder text:
 * `* GitHub Plugin URI: https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>`
 * This causes issues with [https://github.com/afragen/git-updater](https://github.com/afragen/git-updater)
   and GitHub’s APIs by causing the site to repeatedly reach out to a non-existent
   Repository and quickly uses up the APIs Rate Limit, preventing other Plugins/
   Themes on the site from being able to update properly from GitHub.
 * Could this line either be updated to use the correct data or be removed?
