 * Looking at what is installed along with the latest version ( 1.1.1 ) of wd-google-
   analytics.
 * I see a load of stuff under the vendor folder. Obviously a script like vendor/
   phpseclib/phpseclib/travis/install-php-extensions.sh can only be successfully
   run by root ( and securitywise is pretty poor anyway ).
 * What on earth are they doing, attempting to compile stuff, download stuff from
   github and the like.
 * Please do something about this, and revert to *only* including what is required
   to run this plugin, rather than attempting to add your devops stuff to a CMS –
   it circumvents any security measures that are in place!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwhat-are-all-these-shellscripts%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello, [@sholdowa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sholdowa/)!
 * Thank you for posting your question!
 * Please note, that Google Analytics WD plugin uses Google API PHP library. It 
   includes several third-party PHP packages itself.
 * Shell scripts are a part of the **phpseclib** project, but they are used neither
   in our plugin nor in Google library. We just did not delete all unused files 
   one by one, however, we did remove folders in Google library.
 * The whole library has a much larger size than what we have in the plugin. Feel
   free to delete these files, since that will not affect anything.
 * Cheers!
