Hello, I'm making a site where I'll host a few songs and texts I do. I decided to use RoR, instead of plain HTML, mostly because of the layouts and views. It's much nicer to write the menu HTML only once instead of repeat it across several HTML files. I don't need to tell you that, of course :).
My first idea was to just write all the views and, whenever I wanted to add a new song or text, I'd just copy it to the right directory and make a change to the view. Then I realised that I could do better. There are two other layers for me to use. I could write the view just once and it would list all the available songs and texts. All I'd need to do was to add a new song to the persistence layer; no need to change the view all the time. Well, there's one more thought that I need to tell you before I finally ask my question. I'd really like to have the whole site (content, code, etc) in a git repository. That way I can easily work on it anywhere I go. Even better, I'd gain a backup for my site everywhere I cloned it. Ok, now, I don't think git plays well with a sqlite database and, even more of a downer, managing (opening, editing, deleting) stuff stored on sqlite is a pain. Certainly not as easy as copying a file to a directory. So, we get to my question: is there a adapter for active record that would allow me to add content to the file system instead of a relational database?
