Stet is a simple blogging application powered by git and django.

You push to a remote git repository which stores your posts in plain text
files and a post-receive hook takes care of the rest:

- it converts the plain text to HTML using Markdown,
- it updates the database with the new HTML and meta data.

Then, `stet` serves the blog posts via django, adding some nice feature, like
tagging and comments.

Installation
------------

1. Install `stet` with

pip install -e git+git://github.com/stasm/stet.git#egg=stet

2. Add `stet` and the dependencies to `INSTALLED_APPS`

INSTALLED_APPS = (

# ...your other apps go here...

'django.contrib.comments',
'taggit',
'stet',
)

3. Enable the meta-data extension for Markdown by editing your settings.py file
and adding the following setting:

MARKDOWN_EXT = (
'meta',
)

You can also add other extensions as well, if you wish, for instance:

MARKDOWN_EXT = (
'meta',
'abbr',
'def_list',
'fenced_code',
'footnotes',
'headerid',
)

4. Copy `hooks/post-receive` into the `hooks` directory of the remote
repository in which you store your posts.

5. Configure the `ROOT` variable in the `post-receive` hook to match the root of
your Django project (the directory in which `manage.py` is located).
