I have a basic question regarding GitHub, and how TW5 works with it. The
question is more basic than "commits and merges", maybe closer to
philosophy.
*This is how I use TW5:*
My file is a single HTML residing on Dropbox (say..."Fruit.html"), and
synched to my laptop's hard drive. I use TiddlyDesktop to access it, and my
backups stack up with every save in the folder "Fruit.html_backup".
*My goal is to learn GitHub* while continuing work on TW5, and update to a
website, such as a personal blog. I have read that Github Pages could allow
GitHub to host static web pages ("easily"). I have also read that adding
Jekyll provides dynamic webpage functionality.
So I did set up a personal (private) GitHub account. I could not get
(Control Panel / Saving / GitHub Saver -
https://tiddlywiki.com#Saving%20to%20a%20Git%20service) to save Fruit.html
into my repository. So I used Github's Upload Files button and brought
Fruit.html into my repository (maybe it has to be done that way the first
time?)
Now, I can't RUN and update my Fruit.html from within GitHub - right?
GitHub doesn't RUN anything?
Is it just a "repository" that only stores the results of my efforts
(Dropbox via TiddlyDesktop) - right?
If that is true, the value (to me) of GitHub over Dropbox is quite limited,
since I have all my history already. I am not doing any collaborating with
others on my wiki (at least not yet).
Maybe the ability to place my TW5 efforts into web pages deserves Github,
but I could manually move them (FileZilla onto DreamHost), although GitHub
Pages may be much easier.
Any input is appreciated.
