Hello

I'm trying to export my tiddlywiki as a static site, following this tutorial: https://nesslabs.com/tiddlywiki-static-website-generator

When I try to enter this into the terminal:

tiddlywiki --rendertiddlers [!is[system]] $:/core/templates/static.tiddler.html static text/plain

I get this error:
zsh: event not found: is[system]]


I know I setup the wiki correctly, because when I try to use:
tiddlywiki --rendertiddlers "[tag[live]]" $:/core/templates/static.tiddler.html static text/plain

it works just fine!

Is there a problem

Hi Abram,

this has probably something to do with your zsh shell that's being used. try "[!is[system]]" - does that work?

Just looked here (which has been updated recently), and maybe you need to do the following?

tiddlywiki myfirstwiki --rendertiddlers [!is[system]] $:/core/templates/static.tiddler.html static text/plain

If that's the case I'll update my tutorial.

I've gone through the whole thing now (which was a lot of fun and overall pretty easy for me to follow given that I don't know much about terminal). However, having uploaded my files to github, it's not working.

The main error I ran into was pasting:

tiddlywiki --rendertiddlers [!is[system]] $:/core/templates/static.tiddler.html static text/plain

I kept getting the zsh:

event not found: is[system]]

so I went with this code that was shared on your twitter:

tiddlywiki --rendertiddlers "[tag[live]]" $:/core/templates/static.tiddler.html static text/plain

It was accepted in terminal, but the site doesn't work. So I'm not sure if that is the issue, or if there is something else.

I have one other question.

In github (just wanting to make sure I did this right):

I copy all the files out of the folder "myfirstwiki" from my mac into github, even the files that are embedded in subfolders without recreating the folder structure in github?

So it will just be a list of files without folders?

If that is correct, then I'm not sure what it is that isn't working?

Thanks for your help today.
Wess
