Publish content with git

If your Gemini capsule is version-controlled using 'git', these few steps will allow you to use 'git' to also publish your changes made locally onto your server.

Create a git bare repository on your server

mkdir ~/repo && cd ~/repo
mkdir gemini.git && cd gemini.git
git init --bare

Create a post-receive hook (based on provided template)

cd ~/repo/gemini.git/hooks
wget -O post-receive https://codeberg.org/etienne/gemini/raw/branch/main/post-receive-template
chmod +x post-receive

Once downloaded, update 'post-receive':

• Replace <username> with your username used to access your Gemini capsule.
• Set the GEMINI_CONTENT_SOURCE value with the Gemini content root folder (not necessarily your project root folder)

Add your new repo as remote, then publish

From your project root folder, on your machine:

git remote add gemini username@your.server.ip.address:~/repo/gemini.git

You're all done. You can now publish your content via 'git' by running:

git push gemini master
