Welcome Erik! You should know that Google Groups is no longer the primary discussion forum. Most of the discussion is at https://talk.tiddlywiki.org/ (That group mirrors this one, which is often the only way that regulars notice posts here.) > I'd prefer to edit using my local vim editor, commit to a git repository as > the source-of-truth, and have the updated content apply to my node-based > instance using CI/CD.

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. 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. 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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
