+### non-web editing of the wiki
+
+Everyone in the `gitusers` group has access to push commits to [the ikiwiki git repo](https://git.permacomputing.net/permacomputing/log.html).  You can see who's in this list by running:
+
+    getent group gitusers 
+
+This means you can edit the wiki on your local system with the following workflow:
+
+    git clone eik.permacomputing.net:/var/www/git.permacomputing.net/repos/permacomputing.git permawiki
+    cd permawiki
+    ${VISUAL} test.md
+    git add test.md
+    git commit -m "testing remote git wiki updates"
+    git push
+
+If all goes well, you should then see your changes on the [[test]] page.
