Git for static site versioning? Why not just copy the HTML into a new folder? Takes seconds. Zero complexity. Gets backed up with your regular system backups.

Git is great for collaborative or complex projects, but for a static site, you're using a freight train to bring a single tomato to market.

Well, even though I can reinvent `git diff` I still don't want to. GIT gives me good diffs and I don't view it as an unnecessary overhead.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
