Re: [DIYbio] Re: Status/purpose of biohacklabs.org?

You can use Git to version the site, and still self-host it somewhere
else. But, that doesn't even have to be Github; you could use
notabug.org or gitlab.com or even self-host using GOGS.

If you're using a VPS, You can then set up a web-server like Caddy to
pull from that repository occasionally and deploy it live:
https://caddyserver.com/docs/git

..or you could just manually upload to a shared hosting account now and
then, if you're cost sensitive. :)
