Close.  This is how I transitioned from a single file version to the 
node.js version; assuming I had a single file version called SingleFile.html

   1. mkdir SingleFile
   2. tiddlywiki SingleFile --init server
   3. tiddlywiki SingleFile --load SingleFile.html
   4. tiddlywiki SingleFile --server 9999
   5. Visit localhost:9999 in browser of choice, make new tiddlers, edit 
   old tiddlers, ...

My SingleFile directory actually lives in a git repo with my other 
tiddlywiki --server directories, so my next steps are typically to check 
the status of the git repo with my git GUI tool of choice, (currently that 
is SourceTree), <https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/>add the tiddlers that have 
been created or modified to the git index, commit those changes, push the 
updated index to other copies of my git repos; merge those changes at the 
other end, start up tiddlywiki --servers on those platforms; rinse and 
repeat. Those git repo commits are my tiddlywiki backups so it is easy to 
get back to a functioning state if I mess up.


If I have made changes to the same tiddlers in different copies of the git 
repo (rare but sometimes I do that) the git merges will have conflicts that 
I need to reconcile. Those that the diff tool I use (diffmerge 
<https://sourcegear.com/diffmerge/>) can't automatically handle I reconcile 
by hand. (Modification times will be in conflict for example.)


FWIW, I also have a .gitignore file that includes:

# TiddlyWiki elements that change on every update that I don't care about
$__StoryList.tid

Hope that helps
