  16                         Nowadays, you got to have your blog.  Or better: your blogs.  Even Junio
  17                         blogs about Git.
  18                         </p><p>
  19                         So I felt a little left behind, having no blog to show off.  But then
  20                         I read about this fantastic new website on the mailing list, called
  21                         <i>git planet</i> which was supposed to be a place where you could have your
  22                         Git located blog.
  23                         </p><p>
  24                         Except that you could not have your blog <u>there</u>.  Instead, it is just an
  25                         aggregator site.
  26                         </p><p>
  27                         I was disappointed.
  28                         </p><p>
  29                         But then, I had this (in my humble opinion very cute) idea that I already used to "publish"
  30                         my slides from the talk "Contributing with Git (AKA All your rebase are
  31                         belong to us)": back then, I just created a new branch, committed the
  32                         file, and uploaded the result to <a href=http://repo.or.cz>repo.or.cz</a>, to be downloaded via Gitweb.
  33                         </p><p>
  34                         So I asked Pasky via IRC, if he would have any objections if I abused
  35                         <a href=http://repo.or.cz>repo.or.cz</a> as a blog server.  He understood at once, and found it "sounds
  36                         like a pretty cool idea".
  37                         </p><p>
  38                         Of course, just writing plain HTML and committing that is <i>too easy</i>,
  39                         therefore I decided to write a shell script that would turn some sort
  40                         of simple text file into proper HTML, commit it, and upload the result.
  41                         </p><p>
  42                         Well, about two hours later, I finished the first version of the script
  43                         turning plain text with minimal markup into an HTML page, and it obviously
  44                         worked -- otherwise nobody would be able to read this &#x263a;
  45                         </p>
