The last few days I wrote a several blog posts about git powered content creation workflows. I wanted something that I could point to that pulled together some of the main concepts, so somebody that was wanting to build such a thing would have a quick way to get up to speed on the possibilities:
Files, folders, exports, aliases and functions: Explores how to leverage standard OS primitives, flat files and directories, as a resilient, long-lasting storage layer. It details how combining shell exports, shortcuts (aliases), and custom functions transforms the terminal into an efficient, personalized computing and content workspace.
Templates, Markdown, and Frontmatter: Breaks down how to achieve frictionless document creation. Templates automate structural consistency, Markdown offers a clean and portable text formatting layer with HTML pass-through, and Frontmatter adds structured metadata for easy querying, SEO, and AI integration.
Git branches and remotes: Discusses why version control isn't just for code. It explains how using a small subset of Git commands, relying on isolated branches as safe drafting sandboxes and remote repositories for backups and syndication, creates a stress-free environment for human and AI collaboration.
Review and approve workflows: Highlights the power of Pull Requests (PRs) as explicit content quality gates. It shows how PRs function as decision points to promote or reject changes collaboratively, combining rapid drafting freedom with total editorial control before hitting production.
