Simple Git-backed Microsites

You can also expose the git protocol on your website so that anyone can `git clone http://yourwebsite.com`. It's not the whole solution ; you would need a way to get accept pull-requests and advertise the fact trough an HTML header tag, but it's a start to take back the distributed nature of git.

I would be interested to work on that. If anyone else is, please ping me @zimbatm on twitter or github.

I'm working on something similar, except that it will work the other way round and won't be using git for publishing.

It's a set of scripts that you put on your web server and that pulls the content from a Github repository (or any git repository) by using the Github API (or a limited clone of it provided in the package) and curl.

It's in its early stages. Right now I'm coding a general "library". But i have been using some ad hoc scripts for a few projects during the last year, and I like the way it feels...
