Show HN: Git-based front-end interface for Hugo

You could have told your LLM to NOT use node/js/npm and made the thing far more secure from day one. Npm is a security nightmare.

Also you say it’s git-based but it depends on GitHub. GitHub is not git. What if I want to use another git forge or god forbid a local repo?

I have a similar thing but it doesn’t assume GitHub and is coded in Python (by hand, it’s like 100 lines of Python and flask). Serves my needs! Simple and dumb.

Author here. You're completely right about the GitHub specific implementation. I made a mistake in the title! Right now only GitHub auth is supported. Although the design should work with any Git repo down the line. Sorry for causing confusion. Unfortunately I can't edit the title now. I will add a comment to explain this limitation.

As for the tech stack, I chose JS because the main goal was a lightweight web UI that handles online editing and easy image uploads, and JS sounded like a better fit. Having said that, I'm also not happy with current state of npm and I will look into an implementation with Go and tmpl.
