Writing articles in github pages is nice, because you have github repository with all the nice features for document management, however sometimes it’s not where I want my articles to reside. For instance, I want the articles about git to be in a separate git repository.

I have several solutions for this problem:

• I could duplicate the article. But I won’t do this.
• I could store the articles as gist like this:

[gist:id=dc8b7c536d0fe9c7003f]

But I can’t store a lot of related things in gist because that’s the role of a real git repo.

• I could store the articles in the normal git repo, and embed it into the article in github page. I chose this approach for long articles. Like this:

There’s already a nice tool to do this: gist-it. Using it is really simple, just clone the repo and deploy it to an AppEngine instance. The downside of this is it does not generate html code for Markdown.

• The best solution for me is to use a plugin for embedding git file into pelican like this:
