pmomm: #1. gitpub

v 1

utilizing the Git API.

• 

  gitpub v1 scripts

• 

  gitpub v1 printed prototype

I manged to print a proof of concept version of my personal reader repository but ran into a lot of issues:

• API needs personal token authentication (which limits it to personal use)
• using curl (to json) is limiting in formatting options (v1 is very 'crafty')
• sorting the files and directories is tricky and you prob. need to do it manually by passing numbers to the titles

v 2

I dont need the Gitlab APi, since most meta info is already stored in my local repository. try python script >> better to turn into a program (pip install gitpub) using uv

where is the local information stored?

in the repository, commit messages can be found in .git/logs/refs/heads/main
they are structured like this:
