Main use case I am trying to accomplish: Edit wiki pages offline.

  1. Imagine you're the administrator of the site and you want to checkout the wiki sources to give them some love while on a train journey.
  2. Or you are writing a complex document and you want to simply use your favourite $EDITOR
  3. Learn a little more about git

Workflow

on webconverger.org aka si.dabase.com aka hendry machine

Wiki page created with ikiwiki. Example usb.mdwn usb

on monty (my laptop)

git-clone ssh://si.dabase.com/home/hendry/wikiwc/.git/

You might want to set some config variables like your email as this tutorial describes.

echo "blah" >> usb.mdwn

Then to commit:

git-commit -a -m "added test"

Send back:

git push origin

on webconverger.org aka si.dabase.com aka hendry machine

You should setup the "The git post-update wrapper" in the ikiwiki.setup file.

Then the wiki should be up-to-date! :)

Thanks to gitte on #git on Freenode and of course joeyh. Have a look at [[rcs/details]].
