gitpub

An experimental publishing tool that takes incoming http requests, authorizes them and then turns them into static files inside a remote git repository for later consumption by a static site generator running in a gh-pages like environment or a dynamic web app that renders content from static files on disk.

It currently works but generates an inflexible Jekyll post file in a specific location in a repository and is undocumented!

Currently Working

• micropub (posting)
• Simple File handling for small files in git.
• Support for a simple jekyll post schema.

Active Development
