Hey everyone,
This is a cross post from the other group. Ive brought up something like
the point below there in the past and it never really gets any traction, so
I thought I might as well post here and see what you all think.
I recently tested an idea for a very simple way to share tiddlers, based on
node and git. I have my tiddlywiki in:
~/Downloads/testwiki/tiddlers
I have a local version of a shared git repository where I keep shared .tid
files in:
~/source/mysharedtiddlers/
>From the ~/Downloads/testwiki/tiddlers directory, I can then make a *symbolic
link* like:
ln - s ~/source/sharedTiddlers/ sharedTiddlers
This creates a symbolic link in my tiddlers folder to my shared git
controlled folder. In my tiddlywiki, I also have a tiddler called:
$:/config/FileSystemPaths
which contains the following line:
[tag[shared]addprefix[sharedTiddlers/]]
With this setup:
- any tiddler I *create* with the shared tag gets automatically placed
in that symbolic folder, and therefore in the other directory that I manage
with git.
- I can then pull to receive any new tiddlers my friend wants to share
- I can then commit to share mine.
- Any changes we make to the same tiddlers are handled in the usual way
through git (merging, etc.)
A problem with this setup, however, is that I have no clear way to *stop*
sharing
a tiddler:
- If I remove the tag, that does not automatically move it out of the
shared folder - I have to do this manually
- This is more annoying than anyhing, but not a deal breaker - does
anyone know how to do this using node TW?
- Even if I manually move it out, and commit that to my friend, and he
accepts that commit, the tiddler will still exist our shared git history
- This is a small problem, typically to using version control to
share files
Also, if you want to share a tiddler after creation (ie - add share tag
after it was first created), you have to manually move the tid files
yourself.
What do you guys think?
Diego
