The git-scm.com page automatically pulls in released versions of the pages, but not the tip of master (which is what the git-htmldocs repository has). That repository is hosted at kernel.org and at GitHub, so either of: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/git/git-htmldocs.git/plain/git.html https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gitster/git-htmldocs/master/git.html but in both cases the content-type is such that it doesn't render in a browser (and at least in the GitHub case, that is intentional; we don't want people using their repos directly as a CDN. They should build a Pages site and push to it). So I think the options are basically: 1. Point to git-scm.com/docs as "new enough" as it covers released versions (and lets you walk back to earlier versions, too). People who want bleeding edge can clone htmldocs themselves. 2. Make git-htmldocs a real site on GitHub. I think this should be as simple as pushing to the `gh-pages` branch of the repository, which would make it available as https://gitster.github.io/git-htmldocs. You can do a bunch of Jekyll magic, but you don't have to; it should serve arbitrary html files (though I think we'd maybe want to add an "index.html"; we may also want to host it under a git/htmldocs project just to make the repo more official looking). 3. Publish to some other Pages-like service. I don't think kernel.org has one, but it's not like there's a lack of sites you can push static HTML files to. I mentioned GitHub in (2) mostly because Junio already pushes there. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
