+## ikiwiki + git
+
+<http://fob.po8.org/node/346>
+
+Here's an early page documenting setting up ikiwiki with git. It shouldn't be
+this hard anymore. :-) See [[setup]] --[[Joey]]

 ## 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?

+
+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]].
