It's not exactly a bad practice, but it may be significantly less efficient than other techniques. I have similar goals, using a git repo as the source of truth and pushing versions with CI/CD. I don't use vim, though; I used the built-in TW editor, usually without a visible toolbar. +1, I recognized that it would be somewhat of an odd approach and would relegate the TW site to essentially just used for reading, but a lot of TW's value is in how the information is organized. The trouble with editing the tiddlers with an external editor is that the feedback loop is much slower, as the back-end does not generally reload on changes to the tiddlers. You will often need to stop and restart. If you edit with the in-wiki editor, your changes are immediate; you can see them as you save, or, with preview mode, as you type. That can be a huge time-saver. If you're just looking for vim keyboard bindings, there is a CodeMirror editor available. I don't know how you would configure it, but CodeMirror does have a vim mode, so you might be able to edit from the UI in vim mode. But I don't know details. No doubt a benefit; one issue I had with the default editor is that it's a very small editing textbox, and while there's the option to resize it that is really not my ideal composition interface. I suspect this is simply the theme however or it can be customized. I have two different ways of working in Node. In one, for wikis that are mostly my own, I run in Node from a git repo, commit frequently, and occasionally choose to push back to git. In the other, for wikis that are meant to be read-only for most users, I do the same thing from a local node server, but my pushes trigger a CI/CD build. That build creates a stand-alone wiki which is then shared by GitHub/GitLab Pages. In either case, I have a near-instantaneous feedback loop. I make changes and they're rendered right away. I don't think you'll be able to do that well when editing with external vim. I might just setup a job that commits and pushes to a remote repo on a cadence; I think that would achieve what I'm after.

You should know that Google Groups is no longer the primary discussion forum.
