Git gopher
Tuesday Oct 21 1:51:17 2014
The idea of storing the contents of a gopher hole in a
git repository suddenly came to my mind this morning. I
have never tried it but I am pretty sure other people
already do it. I will investigate a little bit.
The concept is very simple. You keep a clone of your gopher
hole directory (and therefore, your data) in your
computer and whenever you update the contents of the gopher
site, you can push the changes to the remote server which
will immediately show the updates online.
Simple concept but incredibly handy and powerful at the
same time.
UPDATE: I have finally set up a new git repository to track
the files served by the gopher server at sdfeu. The git repo
is hosted at gitorious:
* The gitorious repository:
https://gitorious.org/gopher/gopher/
* The cloning address:
git@gitorious.org:gopher/gopher.git
