Hi Adam, 

Welcome to the club! :) 

I think, you talk about this playlist: How to set up a TiddlyWiki 
development environment 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h1nemtQLRI&list=PLuiC_HFhI4OxtThoQf92ws875R9zgNGSd>.
 
videos 12, 13, 14 ... right. 

A file TiddlyWiki, that is build with: node tiddlywiki.js editions/abcd 
--build index  can not write back single files to the local harddisk. ... 

If we want to write single tiddlers, we need to use the --server command. 
... BUT a server setting needs some adjustments to tiddlywiki.info file. It 
needs to include the "file-system" plugins. 

    "plugins": [
        "tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb",
        "tiddlywiki/filesystem",

If these plugins are missing, you can't save!!!!!!!  See the differences in 

 - 
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/editions/tw5.com/tiddlywiki.info
 
and
 - 
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/editions/tw5.com-server/tiddlywiki.info

The server setting also uses the: 

    "includeWikis": [
        "../tw5.com"

setting, which will load the content from tw5.com/tiddlers/ directory. So 
no code duplication is needed

There is a second setting, which tells the server where to save *new* 
tiddlers.

    "config": {
        "default-tiddler-location": "../tw5.com/tiddlers"


tiddlywiki.info from editions/tw5.com  also contains

    "config": {
        "retain-original-tiddler-path": true

which allows the wiki to remember the original path from every tiddler eg: 
tiddlers/myPath ... and so on. 
New tiddlers will be written to the default-tiddler-location specified in 
the server. 


So if you want to change content from tiddlywiki.com you'll need to 

 - create a new feature branch
 - run the server
 - change 1-3 files
 - create a PR. 

Do __not__ change too many different files. It makes it much harder to get 
the PR merged, because there will be too much discussion. 

hope that helps. 

have fun!
