# Intro to Microcosm

<p class="callout warning">Warning: This page is very much a work in progress</p>

Microcosm is a tiny and lightweight micropub server written in python to support a static site powered by[ Hugo](https://gohugo.io/)

It works by accepting micropub payloads and storing them in a Git repository that backs a hugo site. A CI pipeline can then be used to update the live site.

Currently Microcosm supports [Gitea](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea) API but the intention is that it should support other Git providers (or possibly other VCS systems).
