Wiki File Management

Data Files

The wiki files are stored in the capstone CAEDM group files.

You should be able to find them on your J: drive, or any other way you have of getting to your CAEDM home account (e.g. ssh, sftp, etc.)

They will be in the folder groups/capstone/www/wikis

The web page files will be in subfolders of the pages/ folder. There are subfolders for each wiki and each main page.

The picture files will be in subfolders of the the media/ folder. There are subfolders for each main page in the three wikis.

In general, you should not edit the files directly in the group folder. Instead, use the Wiki editing tools. However, it is possible to edit files in the folder using traditional text editing tools.

Using git

The files in the groups/capstone/www/wikis folder are in a git repository that is cloned to the Capstone GitLab account.

Periodically, the changes to the files that have been made by user edits on the wiki should be saved to the GitLab clone.

This is done by the following steps:

  1. Open up a terminal (mac) or command prompt (windows). ssh into CAEDM to get access to the files and change to the proper directory.
        > ssh -l your-caedm-login ssh.et.byu.edu
        > cd groups/capstone/www/capwiki
  2. Check to see make sure you are in the right place by looking at the status of the git repository
        > git status
  3. Commit all of the changes that have been made to the git repository
        > git commit -a -m "Commit Wiki edits" 
  4. Push the local changes to the GitLab repository
        > git push origin master
