A sample setup file is [[ikiwiki.setup]]. Download it (or copy it from

+ files. A good place to put it is in a ~/.ikiwiki/ subdirectory.
Most of the options, like `wikiname` in the setup file are the same as
ikiwiki's command line options (documented in [[usage]]. `srcdir` and

- mkdir $REPOSITORY
- cd $REPOSITORY
- git init-db
- cp -a $SRCDIR/* .

+ When using Git, you probably want to set up two repositories, of which
+ one should be bare (meaning that it does not have a working tree
+ checked out). We call the bare repository the "repository" and the
+ other will be the "srcdir" (which `ikiwiki` uses to compile the wiki).
+ There are [other
+ ways](http://blog.madduck.net/vcs/2007.07.11_publishing-git-repositories)
+ to do the following, but this might be easiest:
+
+ REPOSITORY=~/wiki.git
+ cd $SRCDIR
+ git init
+ echo /.ikiwiki > .gitignore
+ git add .
+ git commit -m'Initial commit'
+ # if you expect $REPOSITORY to receive pushs from multiple
+ # clones, then it is advisable to only accept fast
+ # forwards -- this is to avoid overwriting the remote
+ # ref and losing commits from there.
+ git config receive.denyNonFastForwards true
+ git config core.bare true
+ mv .git $REPOSITORY
+ # we want to preserve the current .ikiwiki directory,
+ # so temporarily move it to a safe location
+ mv .ikiwiki ../ikiwiki.sv
+ cd ..
+ rm -r $SRCDIR
+ git clone -l -s $REPOSITORY $SRCDIR
+ mv ikiwiki.sv $SRCDIR/.ikiwiki
+
+ It is **paramount** that you **never** push to the Git repository in
+ `$SRCDIR` ([this FAQ entry explains
+ why](http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#head-b6a3d85f677763313159eb39f7dbf4579d4ee28b)).
+ Instead, if you want to work on the wiki from a remote machine, clone
+ `$REPOSITORY`, using either the `git` transport (if available), or
+ `ssh`.
+
+ If at any point you commit changes in `$SRCDIR`, make sure to `git
+ push` them to the `$REPOSITORY`.

9. Configure ikiwiki to use revision control.
Once your wiki is checked in to the revision control system,
you chose to use. Be sure to set `svnrepo` to $REPOSITORY, if using
subversion. Uncomment the block for the wrapper for your revision
control system, and configure the wrapper path in that block
- appropriately.
-
+ appropriately (for Git, it should be `$REPO/hooks/post-update`).
+
Once it's all set up, run `ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup` once more.
Now you should be able to edit files in $SRCDIR, and use your revision
control system to commit them, and the wiki will automatically update.
And in the web interface, RecentChanges should work, and files changed
by web users will also be committed using revision control.
