That was TiddlyWeb, the python based version, in combination with TWclassic 
and some experiments with TW5.

The requested combination can't be done in an OS agnostic way.  nodejs, 
tiddlywiki and git are available for windows, linux and macOS. .. but 
tortoisegit is a windows only file-explorer extension. 

The second problem I see here is: node, tw and git may be basic 
requirements without much discussion. ... but git GUIs depend on the users 
taste. There are a lot of them and reaching consensus which one to bundle 
will be close to impossible, because the users tastes are different.

Packaging different components into a single installer imo will just create 
a lot of maintenance and it will just shift the problems that come up with 
the original packages to the bundled package. Which mains moving 
maintenance from many projects, with decent funding, to a community with no 
funding.
