How can I apply Gradle plugin from directly GitHub repo

I tried to apply plugin directly from GitHub repo e.g. as given below

apply from 'https://github.com/gradle/gradle-hello-world-plugin' but on running

./gradlew codeLines

It gives me error as

* Where:
Script 'https://github.com/SurpSG/code-lines-counter-gradle-plugin' line: 7

* What went wrong:
Could not compile script 'https://github.com/SurpSG/code-lines-counter-gradle-plugin'.
> startup failed:
  script 'https://github.com/SurpSG/code-lines-counter-gradle-plugin': 7: unexpected token: < @ line 7, column 1.
     <!DOCTYPE html>
     ^

How can I directly apply plugin from remote git repo?

The plugin is automatically published to jitpack.

You could apply the plugin in the next way:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.github.SurpSG:code-lines-counter-gradle-plugin:0.0.1'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.github.code-lines'

Note! code-lines-counter-gradle-plugin is sample project created as a part of tutorial. I don't recommend to use it because it far from production ready

I don't think it's possible. The closest think you can do is clone the plugin, build it and point to it

buildscript {
    repositories {
        [...]
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath files('relative/path/to/gradle-hello-world-plugin.jar')
    }
}

apply plugin: org.gradle.plugin.HelloWorldPlugin
