git versioning of gramps xml genealogical data

tree

my workflow

usual case: just continue where I left off previously

• open Gramps, select correct Family Tree
• update data
• Export -> Gramps XML (Family Tree), unselect "Use Compression"
• overwrite my git-managed .gramps file
• git add, git commit, git push

"start from scratch" eg. if I've edited a Family Tree on another machine

• (git clone,) git pull
• open Gramps, Delete the Family Tree
• create a new empty Family tree and import the git-managed .gramps file
• update data
• Export -> Gramps XML (Family Tree), unselect "Use Compression"
• overwrite my git-managed .gramps file
• git add, git commit, git push

web site

• generate "Narrated Web Site" report into /docs
• git add, git commit, git push
• github copies it to https://dgm9704.github.io/tree/

looking for

a way to generate the web pages automatically

• running the plugin as a github action?
• triggering the plugin on client based on changed files?

automating git around gramps

• a plugin that does git pull, commit, push automatically?
• a script for starting gramps that does git stuff before and after?
