# Publishing this post from a git repo

This post started as a markdown file in a GitHub repository. A push to main sent it here.

## What happened behind the scenes

1.  GitHub Actions picked up the changed file.
    
2.  The action parsed the frontmatter above and called the Hashnode API.
    
3.  The `slug` got recorded, so the next push to this file updates this post instead of creating a new one.
    

## A code block, for good measure

```js
const status = "published from git";
console.log(status);
```
