-4. Create some files and add them into subversion.
-
- echo "Welcome to my empty wiki." > ~/wikiwc/index.mdwn
- echo "Feel free to edit this page" > ~/wikiwc/sandbox.mdwn
- svn add ~/wikiwc/*.mdwn
- svn commit ~/wikiwc -m add

-5. Build your wiki for the first time.
-
- ikiwiki --verbose ~/wikiwc/ \
- /usr/lib/ikiwiki/templates ~/public_html/wiki/ \
- --url=http://host/~you/wiki/
-
- Replace the url with the right url to your wiki. You should now
- be able to visit the url and see your page that you created earlier.

+ # Create a local clone to save disk space and also to
+ # optimize performance. See git-clone(1).
+ git clone -l -s /git/wikirepo ~/wikiwc
+
+ # TLA
+ mkdir ~/wikiwc
+ cd ~/wikiwc
+ tla archive-setup me@localhost--wiki/wiki--0
+ tla init-tree me@localhost--wiki/wiki--0
+ # Edit {arch}/=tagging-method and change the precious

+ # Mercurial
+ # Mercurial uses a single repo approach, so no need to
+ # clone anything. Because the following examples

+ ln -s /hg/wikirepo ~/wikiwc

+4. Build your wiki for the first time.
+
+ ikiwiki --verbose ~/wikiwc/ ~/public_html/wiki/ \
+ --url=http://host/~you/wiki/
+
+ Replace the url with the real url to your wiki. You should now
+ be able to visit the url and see your wiki.
+
+5. Customise your wiki. The files in `/usr/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/` are
+ used if you don't have a custom version, so let's start by making a
+ custom version of the wiki's index page:
+
+ cd ~/wikiwc
+ cp /usr/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/index.mdwn .
+ $EDITOR index.mdwn
+
+ # Subversion
+ svn add index.mdwn
+ svn commit -m customised index.mdwn
+
+ # Git
+ git add index.mdwn
+ git commit -m customised index.mdwn
+ git push origin
+
+ # TLA
+ tla add index.mdwn
+ tla commit
+
+ # Mercurial
+ hg add index.mdwn
+ hg commit -m customised index.mdwn
+
+ You can also add any files you like from scratch of course.
