Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency; it is used mainly for various open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
Welcome to the Git version control system! Here we will briefly introduce you to Git usage based on your current Subversion knowledge. You will need the latest Git installed; There is also a potentially useful tutorial in the Git documentation.
Ikiwiki is a wiki compiler. It converts wiki pages into HTML pages suitable for publishing on a website. Ikiwiki stores pages and history in a revision control system such as Subversion or Git. There are many other features, including support for blogging, as well as a large array of plugins.
By Joey Hess, Wikis are not just for encyclopedias and Web sites anymore. You can use Ikiwiki in combination with your revision control system to handle issue tracking, news feeds, and other needs of a software project. The wiki can make your bug reports as much a part of your software project as its code, with interesting results. Ikiwiki is a wiki engine with a twist. It's best described by the term "wiki compiler". Just as a typical software project consists of source code that is stored in revision control and compiled with make and gcc, an ikiwiki-based wiki is stored as human editable source in a revision control system, and built into HTML using ikiwiki. Ikiwiki uses your revision control system to track changes and handle tasks such as rolling back changes and merging edits.
