How I'm turning Git commits into blog posts with some custom command line tooling.
So if you know my work at all you know that I love writing good and comprehensive Git commits.
Until now all of that writing was locked up in my repos. Publicly available (for my public repos) but not exactly followable.
I’ve finally taken the time to write a nifty script called git-blog
that
accepts a commit hash (or defaults to the latest hash) and turns that commit
into a markdown blog post in Strange Leaflet!
Because it’s got a git-
prefix and its in my $PATH it means I can call it like
another other git command.
$ git blog
$ git blog c09efbf
Essentially the command turns the Git commit message into markdown which I can then drop into this markdown-based blog setup.
