Pelican Git

Pelican Git is a library that makes it easy to embed GitHub files in your Pelican blogs using simple syntax.

Installation

To install pelican-git, simply:

$ pip install pelican-git

Then add a bit of code to your blog configuration:

PLUGINS = [
    # ...
    'pelican_git',
    # ...
]

Usage

In your articles, just add lines to your posts that look like:

[git:repo=yourname/yourrepo,file=somefile,branch=master,hash=xxxxxxx]

branch and hash are optional. If you don't specify branch, it will be master. If you specify hash it will overwrite the branch setting.

The generated code will embed css and html content directly into a div and replace the original tag. This is faster and cleaner than using javascript to rewrite the page content like what gist_it does.

Settings

GIT_CACHE_ENABLED - Specifies whether to cache the git files on disk or not. Default is False. (Optional)

Testing

$ make install
$ make test
