Re: Obtaining content from Git

I'm not aware of any such module, but there are a few python 'git'
modules for reading/writing, etc...

As for how much trouble it would be, that all depends on how familiar
you are with git, python, Django, and the template system.

One way you might be able to achieve what you want is to create your
own template tag. (The documentation is here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/#writing-custom-template-tags)

You could pass a few parameters to your tag--I'm not sure what you're
looking for, but maybe:

{% gitfile "myfolder/myfile.txt" "d4ea4eea799" %}

And your tag could load data from "myfolder/myfile.txt" at revision
"d4ea4eea799".

There are a few exampled in the Django code itself
(https://github.com/django/django/tree/master/django/templatetags) as
well as plenty of samples on the internet for writing your own
template tag.
