All of the documentation is now located here and maintained as a wiki so hopefully it can be collaboratively maintained.

You can view the history and motivation on the original page on my main site. In a nutshell, this project started as a set of custom scripts for Cory Doctorow to help him use version control for understanding his writing process. The main focus of the scripts is to generate a rich but automated commit message for git. Secondarily, it automates managing a git project so a single, invariant call to flashbake takes care of the most common git workflow, adding and committing files.

The docs are broken out into the following pages:

• Installation – How to get flashbake installed
• Configuration – How to configure a project directory
• Running – Ways to run flashbake
• Plugins – Details on the stock plugins and their configuration options
• Release Notes – What has changed with each version and why
