What SCM-based blog engines are there?

Question

Recently I came across a blog engine that works in quite unusual way. It polls a git repository and publishes a blog post after something new has been found in the repo. The post is generated as a static HTML and put somewhere in public_html. Homepage gets updated.

Do you know any git/hg/svn based blog engines like this? Let's create a list of all SCM-based blog engines as a community wiki.

Answer 1

You can also use GitHub for your own blog.
See the details in this post "Publishing a Blog with GitHub Pages and Jekyll".

Jekyll can be used with any SCM - this is just a static site generator suitable for blogs. To start up quickly, get jekyll-template.

Answer 2

ikiwiki is a similar idea for wikis. It contains a few plugins that make it readily useable as a blog.

Answer 3

I've been using the Mercurial based blohg and have found it to be excellent:

• Blohg home: http://hg.rafaelmartins.eng.br/blohg/
• My blohg: http://ry4an.org/unblog/
• My backing repo: http://ry4an.org/hg/unblog/

Answer 4

This is what I found for git:

• Shinmun: http://github.com/georgi/shinmun
• git-blog: http://github.com/elliottcable/git-blog
• Wheat: http://github.com/creationix/wheat
