> When I try your short-cut approach, I get warnings... Hmm. I'm still a n00b, so I'm not sure what to suggest. In case it helps, I can provide details on how I set up my initial 'tiddler repo'. I started with a monolithic HTML file that I've been using for the last week or so to explore TiddlyWiki's features. Then, I installed node and npm on a Linux machine (just 'because', I think Windows/OS X would have been fine as well). Then, I ran:
$ sudo npm install -g tiddlywiki to install tiddlywiki globally. (It wound up in `/usr/local/bin/tiddlywiki` by default.) After that, I ran: $ tiddlywiki mywiki --init server Copied edition 'server' to mywiki Apparently, *that* step is what created tiddlywiki.info: $ ls mywiki tiddlywiki.info After that, I used my monolithic HTML to 'seed' the mywiki folder created in the previous step and start the server: $ tiddlywiki mywiki --load ~/Desktop/mywiki.html --server The above command created a tiddlers folder under mywiki containing all my tiddlers. $ ls mywiki/tiddlers | head -15 Can't_embed_QWidget_in_QML_.tid $__config_DefaultSidebarTab.tid $__config_PageControlButtons_Visibility_$__core_ui_Buttons_fold-all.tid $__config_PageControlButtons_Visibility_$__core_ui_Buttons_save-wiki.tid $__config_PageControlButtons_Visibility_$__core_ui_Buttons_unfold-all.tid $__config_WikiParserRules_Inline_wikilink.tid Contents.tid $__core.json.tid deb.tid $__DefaultTiddlers.tid Getting_Tiddly.tid How_can_I_extract_files_from_a_DEB_package_.tid How_can_I_interact_with_TiddlyWiki_using_Alexa_.tid How_can_I_list_the_contents_of_a_DEB_file_.tid How_can_I_remove_a_tag_.tid ... After running all of the above commands, I ran git init in the mywiki folder and committed all the files. HTH!
