- 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 stop git performing
- # 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
- mv .ikiwiki ..
- cd ..
- rm -r $SRCDIR
- git clone -l -s $REPOSITORY $SRCDIR
- mv .ikiwiki $SRCDIR
-
- It is **paramount** that you **never** push to the Git repository in
- `$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 should configure ikiwiki to use revision control. Edit your
- ikiwiki.setup, and uncomment the lines for the revision control system
- you chose to use. Be sure to set `svnrepo` to $REPOSITORY, if using
- subversion. Uncomment the block for the wrapper for your revision
- control system, and configure the wrapper path in that block
- appropriately (for Git, it should be `$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.
