1 How do I setup an old ikiwiki repository on a new system?
3 I have a git repository from an old ikiwiki system.
4 I reformatted that hard drive, but saved the repository.
6 I copied it the repository to my new system, which is now the "master" host.
7 I installed ikiwiki on the new system.
9 How do I set up an ikiwiki system using a pre-existing repository (instead of creating a new one)? --[[JosephTurian]]

22 > 4. run `ikiwiki --getctime --setup your.setup`
