+## 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/)

-I wonder why a "pull" doesn't just init a repo like a "svn co" does?
-Ah, I should have used `git-clone ssh://si.dabase.com/home/hendry/wikiwc/.git/`

-    monty:~/git-testing% git-init
-    Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
+    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.

-Great, we see the usb.mdwn file has been modified. Now we need to check it out to update the local work tree (and the wiki?)
-
-    hendry:242$ git-checkout master usb.mdwn
-
-I find this a little odd... Is this a required step for ikiwiki?
-
-# Stuff I am confused about
-
-* this master/origin stuff
-* why do I have to explicitly say the filename "usb.mdwn" for it to be updated?
-* how ikiwiki interfaces with git. does it have its own working copy? or is it the files simply in ~/wikiwc?
-* I know git-push seems unpopular (git-pull seems to have the emphasis), though I think it is really convenient

+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! :)
