Saving on Git hub

[TonyM]

Folks,

I am evaluating the gitHub method of saving. I have a whole Tiddlywiki here https://github.com/AnthonyMuscio/gitwiki/tree/master/wiki in index.html

I have a local file copy with all the GitHub details in it and I can open edit and save this. Great so far.

I am not so sure if and how to provide a link to others to open my wiki online nor if I could avoid contention if I downloaded another copy somewhere.

Any simple advice appreciated.

Thanks

Tony

You can't open the wiki directly from a regular repo on GitHub.  To do that, you need to set up GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) and then save your changes to that repo.

Eric,

Thanks for that tip. I followed the instructions from Tiddlywiki.com and it seems to be pre github pages.

Just some rambling thoughts that may be all wrong.

I don't think you can give someone a link. You have to have them download your TW, then set up a password.

You can use generated, disposable passwords to limit your exposure. But you still need to trust the other participants.

Possibly you could set them up on an alternate branch, which you then periodically merge into your main branch.

I see the GH saver as another saving option, but somewhat specialized.

Mark,

Thanks for this. I thought I had missed something. This needs to be documented at a higher level on tiddlywiki.com because its a long path to go down without any clear idea of what the result will be. 

As Eric pointed out if I instead create a github pages repository I should be able to make it visible. 

the way I have it so far It is only the serving of a tiddlywiki file as a resource with the added advantage that when viewing the tiddlywiki changes can be saved back to GitHub.

Unless I am missing something, is this it?

All,

I was wondering if it were possible to maintain a TiddlyWiki as in the Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5 repository but my own seperate wiki which I can also publish as a single file wiki while allowing changes via pull request against any tiddler. I assume this means all changes need to be made via pull requests.

In this case I was wondering if it were a smart way to receive changes from the community against an open and published tiddlywiki

I am starting to see it may be better for me to simply publish a standard single file tiddlywiki for which I have edit rights and add a comments tool.

Regards

Tony
