Colophon Part II
1 min to read
In the last post, I wrote about how my site is made with 11ty, and that posts are made of simple Markdown files. I’ve recently learned how to commit website updates directly from my phone. It’s not the prettiest solution, but it lets me write blog posts wherever and whenever!
This process takes advantage of the fact that the code is on GitHub. I found an app called iSh Shell on iOS that you can run Alpine Linux. With this you can install Git via a command line and clone your repo and push changes (with the unfortunate side effect of having to use Git command line). Once you’ve cloned your repo, the files show up in the iOS Files app. You can then use any text editor you want (I discovered Runestone Text Editor).
Elegant? No. But it works, and sometimes it’s easier to jot things out on your phone than sitting down at the computer.
