Switching Blot sync from Google Drive to Git
In 2023 I migrated my personal website from Squarespace to Blot. Blot is a static site generator that publishes as a website a folder stored on Google Drive, Dropbox, or a Git repository.
Back then I set up Blot to publish a Google Drive folder but I recently switched the synchronization to a Git repository. It was necessary as Blot has been unable to access Google Drive since Google eventually imposed onerous and expensive auditing processes to use their API. This forced Blot and other small developers to drop support for Google Drive.
Blot's developer is implementing a workaround that will allow to continue using Google Drive. But I decided to go with Git anyway as it's a better fit for my current tools and workflows.
Switching to Git instantaneously and seamlessly created a repository I can clone and update to change the site.
