Distributed version control

Every clone holds the full history, so branching and committing happen locally and nothing needs a server to be reachable. Git is the near-universal implementation.

  1. Building a home for my photos

    Last month, I wrote about an idea that I got to use GitHub Pages as the canonical home for my photos. Over the years, I have hosted pictures on Flickr, Blogger, Pixelfed, Instagram, 500px, and Twitter. At one point, I even primarily hosted them here on this blog. Every solution…

  2. Can you write a CMS that uses git commit messages for content?

    Last year, I wrote the post “My preferred tools for coding” and I figured that this was a good time to update that list. A lot of this stuff is also listed on the resources page of my main website.

  6. State Parks App: Hosting and Code Management

    Previously, we have looked at the plan for the State Parks app and how I used a Google Sheets document as the back-end for the thing. The next step is to set up a new git repo and hosting. In an earlier day, I might be spinning up a DigitalOcean or Google Cloud VM but…
