[[!meta title="Revision Control Systems"]]
|
|
|
|
Ikiwiki supports using several revision control systems for storing page
|
|
histories.
|
|
|
|
Ikiwiki started out supporting only [[Subversion|svn]], but the interface
|
|
ikiwiki uses to a revision control system is sufficiently simple and
|
|
generic that it can be adapted to work with many systems by writing a
|
|
[[plugin|plugins/write]]. [[Subversion|svn]] is still a recommended choice;
|
|
[[git]] is another well-tested option.
|
|
|
|
While all supported revision control systems work well enough for basic
|
|
use, some advanced or special features are not supported in all of them.
|
|
Lack of support in [[ikiwiki-makerepo]] or auto.setup can make it harder to
|
|
set up a wiki using that revision control system. The `rcs_commit_staged`
|
|
hook is needed to use [[attachments|plugins/attachment]] or
|
|
[[plugins/comments]]. And so on. The table below summarises this for each
|
|
revision control system and links to more information about each.

There is a page with [[details]] about how the different systems work with
|
|
ikiwiki, for the curious.
