Assuming you said documentation on how to use this filter is not clear.

Linux Download is here

Windows Download is here
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/Gimp_Layer_Effects_Text_Styler_Plugin_GEGL_Effects/releases/download/Continual_July22_2023/GEGL_Effects_Windows_Binaries.zip

Source code is here
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/Gimp_Layer_Effects_Text_Styler_Plugin_GEGL_Effects/releases/download/Continual_July22_2023/source_code_of_gegl_effects_CE.zip

Source code compiles with meson, ninja and gegl package.

Binaries go in

Windows (may need to create "plug-ins" folder if it doesn't exist.)
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins

Linux
/home/(USERNAME)/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins

Linux (Flatpak) includes ChromeBook
/home/(USERNAME)/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/data/gegl-0.4/plug-ins

Then restart Gimp go to GEGL Operation and look for GEGL Effects Continual and apply it on a transparent image or plain text. If you are running it on plain text first run "layer to image size" on that layer. Many options found in GEGL Effects are similar to those found in Adobe Photoshop's layer effects. So it is basically a text styling tool or way to outline images. The first three tabs on GEGL Effects (Outline and Shadow) (Bevel and Inner Glow) (Gradient and Image Upload) are good enough for 99% of users, everything else is more advance.
