In my opinion, code I add to Github is still mine. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree here.

Self-hosting would be awesome indeed, but I think doing it would be quite complicated because of the authentication part, which is needed to push changes to a git provider.

I don't know how much you want to get into this, but since we're already on this topic:

https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/external-oauth-clients/ https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/oauth2-provider/

NetlifyCMS allows you to define your own backends, and Gitea now has OAuth2 support. Should be able to adopt a similar strategy and allow Gitea to be used as a backend.

Thanks for the references. I'm definitely interested in adding more options to Outstatic. Haven't heard of Gitea before. It looks cool :)
