How do I make updates available ( updates ) to a WordPress plugin I've developed? Can you do that with GitHub? Or is it only possible through official directory ?

Here are the tools I tested to do this:

YahnisElsts / wp-update-server < in> The custom update API for WordPress plugins and themes. Intended to be used in conjunction with my plugin-update-checker library.
thomasgriffin / TGM-Updater
This class has been tested and works with both regular and Multisite installs, and it even works with services like ManageWP!
YahnisElsts / plugin-update-checker
< in> A custom update checker for WordPress plugins. Ufseful if you do not want to host your plugin in the official WP plugin repository, but would still like it to support automatic plugin updates.

Self hosted plugin and theme update scripts

The one I ended up using was Yahnis Elsts, but I used it for updates directly on my server. I think GitHub has to be another. You need to test what works best for you.
