Could you host on GIT a simple plain text file with headlines / news?

Hi,

As Frank said the plague is that today websites are stuffed with videos, java, ads, .... well, awful for mobiles and getting the desired info.

Simple thing does not exist today. So, let's make it!

Could someone host on git a simple txt file with updating it daily over crontab?

Nothing complicated, for instance $HOME/uploadnews.sh :

take a nice webpage maybe better than CNN.

Code:

#/bin/sh

cd 

mkdir tmp

cd tmp

date >  plaintext-news.txt

elinks -dump-width 80 -force-html www.cnn.com  >> plaintext-news.txt

# fput / git... to upload on git,ftp,...

echo FINITO

Update this script the way you want.

place this into crontab (with crontab -e ):

Code:

30 8 * * * screen -d -m bash $HOME/uploadnews.sh

Many thanks in advance

I didn't know he was internet savvy.

This post motivated me to 'learn' [sign up for] git!

Do you need hosting for this?
I'm confused again still...
