Next, `git clone` the source (`$REPOSITORY`, not `$SRCDIR`)
from the server to the laptop.

Now you need to write a setup file for ikiwiki on the laptop. Mostly this
is standard, but a few special settings are needed:
and configure it so that each page links to the corresponding page on the
server.
-Now just run `ikiwiki -setup wiki.setup -getctime` and you should be
+Now just run `ikiwiki --setup wiki.setup --getctime` and you should be
good to go. (You only need the slow `-getctime` option the first time you
run setup.) If you have taken your `wiki.setup` file from an existing
wiki, you may need to change certain parameters to adapt to the paths
destdir: /home/user/public_html

Use standard git commands to handle pulling from and pushing to the server.
Note that if changes are pulled from the server, you will need to manually
-update the wiki, with a command such as `ikiwiki -setup wiki.setup -refresh`.
+update the wiki, with a command such as `ikiwiki --setup wiki.setup --refresh`.
If you'd like it to automatically update when changes are merged in, you
can simply make a symlink `post-merge` hook pointing at the `post-update`
hook ikiwiki created.
