Tiddlywiki does not have a Github Saver option

[Christian Macedo]

Is there any way to add this as a plugin? Or, do I have to do as I fear and download a new version of tiddlywiki and migrate all my content over?

If you have upgraded your TW to the latest version, you will find the options in controlpanel- Saving- GitHub Saver.

thanks. 

I've upgraded using https://tiddlywiki.com/upgrade.html and that seems to have gone well. 

I've also added my repo details to the 'Github Saver' section. But, how do I initiate a save to github from the local file? Using the 'save changes' button saves a local copy. I was expecting a commit and push (in the background most likely) to the github repo.

Have I misunderstood something?

You have to go to https://tiddlywiki.com/#%24%3A%2FControlPanel

But in your own wiki, tab Saving and select the tag GitHub Saver. Fill out the form.

Yep, I've filled in the form.  

What's the expected behaviour once this is done? 

[Birthe C]

I admit I have not used it. But it is kind of like other saving possibilities we have. I wonder if this one also is browser specific.

If I have to save to tiddlyspot I need to use Chrome or chromium browser. Firefox will not do.

What did you put for the path? I found that, contrary to the instructions, there was no default -- I had to specify "/" (or /saver/ etc.)

When it can't activate your selected saver, it uses the default download save mechanism. Once the GH saver works, it stops

saving to your download directory.

The smoothest way to use the GH saver would be in conjunction with github pages. With GH pages, it works a lot like tiddlyspot. Without gh pages, at the start of each session

you will need to download your last saved copy from GH to your local drive, load it into the browser, and set up your password. The problem with GH pages is

that everything is public.

Good luck!

There isn't a GitHub Pages site here.
