I've been experimenting with TiddlyWiki and NodeJS, and discovered that
'importing' my mono-html file (using tiddlywiki --load) causes it to be
converted into a bunch of discrete files. Further experiments reveal that
it is possible—seemingly, at least—to sync these files (and hence, my
entire wiki) to multiple machines using git push/pull. The one catch is: it
appears that the only way to actually *use* a TiddlyWiki structured this
way is to serve it using NodeJS? Is that correct? Or... is there some way I
can access/modify this collection of files using only git and a browser?

I ask because the setup I'm fumbling my way towards seems a bit...
cumbersome. I'm a software developer by trade, so sync'ing git repos to
multiple machines comes as naturally as breathing. In contrast, doing a
local install of Node + npm + tiddlywiki on each machine I want to access
the data from feels like a lot of extra effort. I use Windows and Linux at
work, and OS X at home, and I'd rather not bother figuring out the nuances
of how to do that dance on all three platforms—especially given that I
don't have admin/root access on all the machines I'd like to access my
wiki(s) from.

I already have a *killer* setup for managing my myriad config files (.vimrc,
.zshrc, .tmux.conf, etc.) and various plugins using myrepos
<https://myrepos.branchable.com/> and vcsh <https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh>.
*Everything* is stored in git, so I can sync my setup around to whatever
machines I want. It would be enormously helpful if I could do the same with
my TiddlyWiki(s). Is this possible?

*NOTE*: After trying it a few times, I don't have much interest in trying
to sync changes to monolithic TW files. The mono-HTML files are huge, and
the diffs contain so much 'noise' that trying to merge updates from
multiple machines seems like an impossibility. (Perhaps I'll find that the
multi-file layout has quirks/pitfalls of its own, but so far, it seems
really easy to understand and reason about...)
