The gn-guile markdown editor currently reads from normal git repositories. However, for GN's self-hosted git repository, we use bare repositories. Bare repositories only store the git objects, therefore we can't edit files directly.

gn-guile and the cgit instance run in the same server. We will have one normal repository, and the bare repository, configurable by: "CURRENT_REPO_PATH", which has the normal raw files; and "CGIT_REPO_PATH" which is the bare repository. We will make edits to the normal repository, and once that is done, push locally to the cgit instance.

• When creating the gn-guile container, this introduces extra complexity in that will have to make sure that the container has the correct write access to the bare repository in the container.
• With this, we are coupled to our GN git set-up.
