* tilde-wiki

/being a small tool for managing a wiki on a social unix server/

This is a new project. It's a formalization of the strange 777 /home/wiki user
that has existed on [[https://tilde.town][tilde.town]] since time immemorial.

You can think of this project as a very special-cased static site generator with
as few features as possible.

For now, check out the [[https://github.com/tildetown/tilde-wiki/blob/master/rfc.org][rfc]].

* using this tool

this tool is super specific to tilde.town, but more or less adaptable to similar
environments. if there are things you think should change to make this more
useful elsewhere, PRs and issues are welcome.

** prequisites

   - a git repo with a top level path ~src/articles~
   - the files ~src/{footer.md,header.md}~ which contain whatever header and footer content you'd like
   - everything in ~src/articles~ to be either a markdown (~.md~), html (~.html~), or plain text (~.txt~) file
   - write privileges for anyone who clones the repo
   - a ~post-receive~ hook with something like the following:
     #+BEGIN_SRC bash
     #!/bin/bash
     umask 002
     unset GIT_DIR

     cd /wiki
     git reset --hard HEAD
     git log -1 > git-last-log.txt 
     #+END_SRC
     (you will want to replace ~/wiki~ with whatever the path to your wiki repo is)
