Hi,
have a separate repo for the manual &then use github API !!
available API :
$ curl https://api.github.com/repos/hydrogen-music/hydrogen
latest commit metadata:
$ curl https://api.github.com/repos/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/commits/HEAD
download HEAD:
$ curl -L https://api.github.com/repos/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/zipball >
h2.zip
H2 could then ask for HEAD metadata, and update it's local manual from
github when needed.
