check out how quickly #GitPages (and #Grebedoc) can check out a giant git repository without any changes!

if supported by the server, it retrieves only a single tree from git (no other branches, no tags, no history, no file contents), backfills it from the existing site contents, and then pulls in any missing files from the git server on-demand

this lets you publish very large repositories as static sites without straining network and compute (for compression, etc) resources!

(2/3) For those curious about the technical side: we are using #MkDocs to build the website inside #WoodpeckerCI on #Codeberg and push the resulting HTML to #Grebedoc.

We want to thank all the developers of these tools and we want to thank @Codeberg and @whitequark for the hosting of code and website.

As always in this #FOSS world: we build on the work of others to get much further much faster than we could have gone alone and we are so grateful for the FOSS community for making this possible!
