what if my git host were a static site generator?
Summary
The article describes Sorcery, a static-site generator that renders git repositories as static HTML views to reduce server load and improve resilience against scraper traffic. It explains how the system serves repo data, including a read-only git view and a server route to fetch specific git objects, and discusses design trade-offs and security considerations. It also covers deployment details and ideas for a lighter, static git hosting experience.
