Version Controlling the Wiki: Isomorphic Git

[Diego Mesa]

I just came across this:

isomorphic-git

https://isomorphic-git.org/en/

A pure JavaScript implementation of git for node and browsers!

and thought it might make a great addition to the wiki! Using git as a version control of the wiki itself!

Hi Diego

I have also been following isomorphic-git with interest, and am intrigued by the idea of using it for the TW store. Many of the interesting applications of isomorphic-git require a proxy to access external servers, which we wouldn't need in the context of TW. Ultimately, I'm looking for a way to store content that works across the browser, Node.js and serverless cloud services and gives us features like revision handling and merging changes from multiple sources.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

This would be really great. Merging and handling of different versions is a place where TW is lacking. I often have the fear that my wiki is out of sync with the mobile version and I will override something.

It would also make it a lot simpler to manage separate wikis that share content.

projects that spring to my mind, where this could have a impact:

twideraton and the recent search indexes to other wikis projects

HC,

I always had the idea that we could have a tiddly wiki that could be edited on line interactively and on saving updated any changed tiddlers into a Gut hub repository as separate tiddlers like tiddlywiki.com and those without permissions could submit a pull request that owner could respond to as an update to an existing tiddler (As Tiddlywiki.com does). Then a designer could build a plugin/macro and others can recomend changes, and it all lives in one repository, that everyone can see the published version, and the owner can instantly update within tiddlywiki.

But am I dreaming?
