Six years after its last edition, our volunteer team brought back Ring on Feier – Festival des Lichts, a cross-border light festival in Germany.
I built the festival website as a real-world proof of concept for Commitspark, an open source Git-based data management tool I’m developing.
The site had to be multilingual (German, Czech, Polish, English), reliable for thousands of visitors, and easy to maintain without expensive hosting or tooling.
In this post, I share lessons learned about using Git for structured content, what worked well (branch workflows, no extra backend), and what still needs work.
