## Migrating from svn to git ##
I'd like to migrate from svn to git, because git is better in general but also has some nice properties that go well together with my use of ikiwiki.. I only change it myself. I want a single git repo so that my website directory is self-contained so that I don't need to drag around a separate svn repository on my computer. Is it possible to use ikiwiki so that it only uses a git repository in the same dir as all files are stored and edited?

+> Note that while the post-commit hook above may work in some situations, it *will* fail (or at least be suboptimal) for web commits. If you're setting up ikiwiki and git for a wiki that allows web commits, you should use
+> the repository and hook setups in documented in [[setup]] instead. With that method, you do end up with two separate git repos; but it's fine to only back one of them up. :-) --[[Joey]]

+
+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](http://git.or.cz/)
+
+# Workflow
+
+## on webconverger.org aka si.dabase.com aka hendry machine
+
+Wiki page created with [ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.info). Example usb.mdwn [usb](http://webconverger.org/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](http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/tutorial.html) 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]].
+
+## Too many pages about git?
+I think it would be a good thing if the various git pages where somehow unified. It seems to me that [[tips/laptop_wiki_with_git]] is currently not so different from [[git]]. Let us see what joeyh thinks about the new git pages, but if this level of detail is to go there, I think it could pretty much include (maybe as sub pages) the info in [[tips/laptop_wiki_with_git]] and [[tips/laptop_wiki_with_git_extended]] --[[DavidBremner]]
