Overview

gitit is a wiki enging backed by a git or darcs filestore. When run for the first time, it creates a file standard files and directories that contains the structure of a basic wiki, then listens for incoming HTTP connections. When run in a directory that already contains a gitit wiki, it uses the information already present.

The directory wikidata contains the repository that hosts the pages in the wiki. You can change its content both from the Web interface and by modifying directly the repository (via commit/record or push/pull).
