How to contribute to the ~green wiki

To contribute to the wiki, you need to create or modify pages in markdown format and add them to the wiki git repository

To get started, fork the tilde.green/wiki repo at https://git.tilde.green/tilde.green/wiki to your own account

To be able test the changes, you can put the wiki dir directly into the public_html dir

username@tilde:~/public_html$ git clone git@git.tilde.green:username/wiki.git

create the additional files used by the wiki with composer

username@tilde:~/public_html$ cd wiki
username@tilde:~/public_html/wiki$ composer install

create a new file from the template.md file

username@tilde:~/public_html/wiki$ cd pages/
username@tilde:~/public_html/wiki/pages$ cp template.md wiki.md

create a new branch so you don't mess up your master branch

username@tilde:~/public_html/wiki$ git branch wikipage
username@tilde:~/public_html/wiki$ git checkout wikipage

edit the file and add it to the wiki

username@tilde:~/public_html/wiki$ emacs pages/wiki.md
username@tilde:~/public_html/wiki$ git add pages/wiki.md

To preview the wiki, you can go to https://tilde.green/~username/wiki/, the links to the individual pages do not work since a rewrite rule is missing.

You can view the pages by adding ?page= before the page name, e.g. https://tilde.green/~username/wiki/?page=wiki

Alternatively you can run a test server in your account with

php -S localhost:9000

To access the server from your own browser, you need a ssh tunnel since the pubnix does not allow external port access.

ssh -x -L 9000:localhost:9000 username@tilde.green

Then you can access your wiki instance with http://localhost:9000/ and the local links work directly

If you run a php test server, please don't leave it running as this allocates the local port and nobody else would be able to start a server on the same port.

When you are satisfied with the content, commit and push the repo and create a pull request.
