How to import existing file and folder structure?

[DominikBritz]

I want to import my existing markdown files, which are structured in folders.

How can I import them to the repository?

Hey @DominikBritz,

Yes! the most convenient way to do this is via git:

1. Enable the Git Webserver via Settings > Application Preferences > Content end Editing Preferences > [x] Enable Git Webserver
2. Depending on the structure you have, yu might want to set [x] Retain page name case, too.
3. Clone the (empty) Otterwiki locally, git clone https://otterwiki.example.com/.git -- You find the url on your Settings page.
4. Copy your existing files and directories into the local repo, run git add, git commit and finally git push.

Another way would be to just copy the files into the directroy volume (when running in docker) and running git add and git commit as user www-data/uid 33.
