I like the idea of doing something like this that isn't as complicated as a full static site generator but just has one pre-formatted configuration. On the other hand, there are a lot of existing SSGs and CMSs that provide the ability to run a site in Git, come with theme options so you don't have to theme yourself, and have a managed hosting platform. In that sense, you're competing with almost everyone listed in https://jamstack.org/generators/.

A note on Hacker News formatting: consider starting your title with "Show: HN" for this type of post and including the link in the URL field (see https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html).

The biggest difference with the existing site generators and CMSs is that they are isolated deployments and each blog is completely independent. This makes it hard to gain audience. The goal of Truegit is to bring the social components: likes, comments, follow a blog etc. We want to make it Medium like publishing platform powered by Github. AFAIK, there's no platform that enables this.

Thanks for the Show HN tip!!
