An Introduction to GIBSY


This blog was thrown together really suddenly last night after I finally hacked
rss support into the gibsy code. So, because of the sudden appearence of this
blog I decided to explain a bit about GIBSY. GIBSY Stands for GIt Blogging
SYstem. The reason it exists is because I needed a blog for the floss course I
am taking. I originally had a wordpress blog hosted on my server typhon.
However typhon had a sudden and horrible death by shorted power supply. Thus I
was left without a blog. This happened on a friday, so that weekend I sat down
and wrote the core of GIBSY. GIBSY works off a cloned git repo. When you
install GIBSY it creates a git repository and it runs a FAPWS3 http server to
host the content in the git repo. The idea is that whenever someone pushs to
the git repo the blog automatically reloads the content. This is acheieved
using git hooks. So that is gibsy, the source is up on github so go check it
out. http://github.com/posiden/GIBSY
