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