Because ikiwiki has editing via a web ui (less is more), because fugitive does not "support" git but embraces it and integrates within its workflow[1], and because it's written by me ;-). Edit: [1] by that I mean that once you have used fugitive to setup your repository, you don't need fugitive anymore, you just use git as usual.

Sure ikiwiki has a web interface, but if you do not want to use it you do not have to. In fact it makes setting it up that much easier. As far as "embracing git" goes I am not sure what you think ikiwiki does not embrace: $ ikiwiki --setup /etc/ikiwiki/auto-blog.setup $ git clone $BLOGREPO foo $ cd foo $ emacs index.mdwn $ git add index.mdwn $ git commit -m "this blog fully embraces git" Gitit is another option especially appealing if you like pandoc and/or haskell.

  It's not obvious from the ikiwiki website that you can also do it like this. Cool! It's always good to have more choices :-).

    Ikiwiki is awesome, but very little is obvious from the documentation;) Good luck with your project.

NB: When I said it was written by joey I did not mean to imply anything negative about you or your code. All I meant was that it was yet another great piece of software written by joey: * etckeeper (/etc under git) * git-annex (dark git magic that i am only starting to fully appreciate) * moreutils (growing collection of the Unix tools that nobody thought to write long ago, when Unix was young) * tons of trivial debian infrastructure like debian-installer, tasksel, debhelper:) http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/ http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/

  Woaw I didn't knew the same guy did all this! I'm a huge fan of moreutils, in particular the sponge command which I use almost daily. Thanks for the link. PS: I never assumed that you were implying something negative about my code.
