Wiki page on export uses the command

fossil export --git ...

However this is deprecated according to:

https://fossil-scm.org/home/help?cmd=export

I would fix this wiki page myself but:

  1. I can't see how to access the wiki pages (certainly "wiki export home" doesn't work on the sqlite database I downloaded... was that the correct place to look?)

  2. The Web UI doesn't have an 'edit' feature, even though I am logged in.

Many thanks

Regarding:

(Hmmm. This skin doesn't mark that clearly as a blockquote.)

The pages in question aren't wiki pages, per se, but are "embedded docs," many of which use the fossil wiki format. The core fossil repo does not enable online editing of embedded docs (a feature new in 2.12). The file you're looking for is www/inout.wiki.
