+title: using cgit on tilde.club
+author: deepend
+category: tutorials
+---
+
+`cgit` gives every tilde.club member a simple, read‑only web view of their public Git repositories.
+Any repo you put in `~/public_git/` and end with `.git` is automatically shown at
+
+```
+https://tilde.club/~<username>/git/
+```
+
+Below is the quick‑start plus a few tips.
+
+---
+
+## 1  Create the **public\_git** directory (once)
+
+```bash
+$ mkdir -p ~/public_git
+```
+
+The web server is already allowed to traverse `~/public_git`, so you do **not** have to chmod anything manually.
+
+---
+
+## 2  Add a repository
+
+Only **bare** repos are accepted (they have no working tree inside them).
+
+```bash
+# create a brand‑new bare repository
+$ cd ~/public_git
+$ git init --bare hello.git
+```
+
+or push an existing project:
+
+```bash
+$ cd ~/my/project
+# add tilde as a remote and mirror‑push everything
+$ git remote add tilde ssh://<username>@tilde.club/~/public_git/project.git
+$ git push --mirror tilde
+```
+
+You can repeat for as many repos as you like; just keep each one directly in
+`~/public_git/` and make sure the name ends with `.git`.
+
+---
+
+## 3  Browse your repos
+
+```
+Index page   : https://tilde.club/~<username>/git/
+Single repo  : https://tilde.club/~<username>/git/<repo>.git/
+```
+
+Example for user **deepend**:
+
+```
+https://tilde.club/~deepend/git/          # lists everything
+https://tilde.club/~deepend/git/hello.git/  # specific repo
+```
+
+The header will say `~deepend Git Repositories`, commits are clickable, diffs
+are highlighted, and the cloning URL is shown near the top right.
+
+---
+
+## 4  Update a repository
+
+Because the repo is bare you **push** into it; cgit shows the new state
+immediately.
+
+```bash
+$ git push tilde main          # normal
+$ git push --mirror tilde      # full mirror (branches + tags)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5  Remove a repository
+
+Simply delete or rename the directory:
+
+```bash
+$ rm -rf ~/public_git/oldstuff.git
+```
+
+The entry disappears from the index on the next page load.
+
+---
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Can I hide a repo from the list?
+
+Move it somewhere else in your home directory or make it non‑bare.
+`cgit` only scans `~/public_git/*.git`.
+
+### Why bare repos only?
+
+Internal `.git/` directories inside non‑bare repos confuse cgit’s scanner and
+produce broken links like `/repo.git/.git/`.
+Bare repos avoid that and are the normal way to publish Git over HTTP.
+
+### Clone / pull URL?
+
+Use SSH for write access:
+
+```
+ssh://<username>@tilde.club/~/public_git/<repo>.git
+```
+
+or plain HTTPS for read‑only:
+
+```
+https://tilde.club/~<username>/git/<repo>.git
+```
+
+---
+
+Happy hacking, and show off your code!

+
+# Tilde.club Help Desk Guide
+
+Welcome! This Help Desk system provides a quick, self-serve way to:
+
+1. **Request or redeem a new SSH key** for your tilde account.  
+2. **Reset your account password** (if you've forgotten it).
+
+Below you’ll find step-by-step instructions on how to use the help desk system when you **SSH** into the `help` user. 
+
+---
+
+## Accessing the Help Desk
+
+1. Open a terminal on your local machine.  
+2. **SSH** into the **help** account (adjust the hostname to your actual tilde server name):
+   ```bash
+   ssh help@tilde.club
+   ```
+3. You’ll see a welcome message and a **main menu** with numbered options.
+
+---
+
+## Main Menu Overview
+
+After logging in, you’ll see three main options:
+
+1. **SSH Key Help**  
+2. **Password Help**  
+3. **Exit**
+
+Select the option that applies by typing its corresponding number and pressing **Enter**.
+
+---
+
+## 1. SSH Key Help
+
+When you choose **SSH Key Help** at the main menu, you’ll see another menu:
+
+1. **Request a new SSH key**  
+2. **Redeem a code** for a new SSH key  
+3. **Return** to the previous menu
+
+### 1.1 Request a New SSH Key
+
+1. Pick **“I want to request a new SSH key”** (option 1).  
+2. **Enter the email** you registered with your tilde account. The system does a simple check to ensure it’s valid.  
+3. If the email matches an existing account, you’ll receive a **“request code”** at that address.  
+4. After receiving that code, **log out** or press **Enter** to return to the main menu.
+
+### 1.2 Redeem a New SSH Key
+
+1. Back in the **SSH Key Help** menu, choose **“I have a code from my email and need to redeem it.”**  
+2. Paste in the **request code** you received.  
+3. The system confirms your username.  
+4. When prompted, **paste your new public SSH key** (the part that starts with `ssh-ed25519` or `ssh-rsa` or similar).  
+5. The system appends your key to your `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`.  
+6. You’ll see a success message, and you can then **log in** to your tilde with that new key.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Password Help
+
+At the main menu, choosing **Password Help** displays:
+
+1. **Request a password reset code**  
+2. **Redeem a password reset code**  
+3. **Return** to the previous menu
+
+### 2.1 Request a Password Reset Code
+
+1. Choose **“Request a password reset code.”**  
+2. **Enter your email** address.  
+3. The system sends a **reset code** to your email if the account matches.  
+4. Exit or return to the menu once you have the code.
+
+### 2.2 Redeem a Password Reset Code
+
+1. Choose **“Redeem a password reset code.”**  
+2. **Paste in** the code from your email.  
+3. Enter a **new password** for your tilde account, then **confirm** it.  
+4. Upon success, the system updates your account’s password immediately.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Exiting the Help Desk
+
+Simply choose **“I’d like to leave this help desk”** (option 3 in the main menu) or press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>D</kbd> (end of file) to disconnect.
+
+---
+
+## Tips & Troubleshooting
+
+- **Time Limit**: Each prompt has a 2-minute inactivity timer. If you wait too long, the help desk **exits** automatically. Just log in again to resume.  
+- **Email Didn’t Arrive?** Check your spam folder. If you still don’t see it, contact root@tilde.club.  
+- **Invalid Email**: If you mistype an email or use an unrecognized domain, you’ll see an error. Double-check your address.  
+- **Incorrect Code**: If the code was typed incorrectly or expired, the system will refuse it. Request a new one if needed.

+title: Adding a web counter to your page
+author: deepend
+category: tutorials
+---
+
+To display a visit counter on your webpage, you'll need to edit your `index.html` file and insert a `<script>` tag that loads the counter.
+
+Type: `nano index.html` to open your file for editing.
+
+Add the following line *exactly where you want the counter to appear*:
+
+```html
+<script src="https://counter.tilde.club/?page=homepage&user=yourname&style=57chevy"></script>
+```
+
+- Replace `homepage` with any identifier for the page you're tracking.
+- Replace `yourname` with your username or something unique to your site.
+- Replace `57chevy` with a different style if you'd like.
+
+Here’s an example:
+
+```html
+<p>Visitor count:
+<script src="https://counter.tilde.club/?page=homepage&user=alice&style=web1"></script>
+</p>
+```
+
+Once you’ve added the line, save and close the file using `CTRL+X`, then press `y` and `[Enter]`.
+
+Refresh your site in your browser to see the counter.
+
+### Available Styles
+
+You can use any of these style names in the `style=` parameter:
+
+- `57chevy`
+- `7seg`
+- `bbldotg`
+- `bellbtm`
+- `blgrv`
+- `cntdwn`
+- `computer`
+- `ds9`
+- `fdb`
+- `led`
+- `links`
+- `marsil`
+- `sbgs`
+- `web1`
+
+Try different styles to see which one fits your site best.
+
+Note: The counter uses sessions and cookies to count *unique* visits per user every 24 hours (or whatever time is configured). Page refreshes won’t increase the count unless unique mode is off.
+
+If you need help or want a custom style added, reach out to the site admin.

+title: The Vi Editor
+category: software
+author:
+  - ant
+---
+
+*Tilde.Club* has
+[The Traditional Vi](https://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/)
+installed on its premises.
+It is not just another
+[Vi clone](https://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ViFamily),
+but the direct continuation
+of Bill Joy's legendary work at Berkeley.
+The binaries are in `/usr/archaic/bin/`
+and the man pages
+(separately for `ex` and `vi`)
+in `/usr/archaic/share/man/man/`.
+
+You can invoke *The Traditional Vi* in several ways
+(in the order of increased engagement):
+
+1. by the full path to the executable:
+
+       /usr/archaic/bin/vi
+
+2. by adding it as an alias to your shell's `rc` file
+   (`~/.bashrc` for *Bash*), e.g:
+
+       alias tvi=/usr/archaic/bin/vi
+
+   and then invokng *Vi* by typing `tvi`,
+
+3. by adding the locations *Vi* and its documentation
+   in front of the `PATH` and `MANPATH` environment variables
+   in your shell's profile script
+   (for *Bash*, `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.profile`):
+
+       export    PATH="/usr/archaic/bin/:$PATH"
+       export MANPATH="/usr/archaic/share/man/man:$MANPATH"
+
+The latter method has the advantage
+of affecting subshells,
+so that if you specify `vi` as the default editor
+in your e-mail or news client, or another CLI program,
+it will invoke *The Traditional Vi*,
+ditto for your shell scripts
+and the `EDITOR` environment variale.
+
+## Resources
+
+1. Bill Joy's
+   [An Introduction to Display Editing with Vi ](https://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/viin/paper.html),
+2. [`vi(1)`](https://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/vi.html) man page,
+3. [`ex(1)`](https://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/ex.html) man page,

+6. The `#vi` channel on the
+   [Libera.Chat](https://libera.chat/)
+   IRC network,
+   dedicated to the original *Vi*
+   and all its variants except *Vim* & co,
+7. [VI experience in the shell](https://deut-erium.github.io/2024/01/28/inputrc.html).
+
+## Building
+
+*The Traditional Vi* is surprisingly easy to build from
+[its source](https://sourceforge.net/p/ex-vi/code/).
+You only need to locate the following line in `Makefile`:
+
+    TERMLIB = termlib
+
+and replace the value with `curses` or `ncurses`,
+depending on your preferred terminal library.
+Now you can build and install the project with:
+
+    make && make install
