Seek suggestions to keep history of tiddlers

#1

My Tiddlywiki Setup is node.js under Windows. Some tiddlers are generated with Rmarkdown for data analysis. These tiddlers have bigger size (about 10MB) with lazy loading.

I would like to keep some key history during the data analysis.

For example, I have a tiddler “Example Data Analysis”

  1. to make a copy of this tiddler into a new tiddler (e.g. “Example Data Analysis | 2025-10-20”). It could be multiple copies of this tiddlers. However, this method will show the history tiddlers in the search list.

  2. to create system tiddlers (e.g. $:/history/Example Data Analysis/2025-10-20). Not sure whether we could apply lazy loading into system tiddlers.

  3. to use version control (e.g. git). Most files are about 10 MB. Don’t want to add big files into my git history.

What’s the best practices to name tiddler history? Thanks for any suggestions.

I am not 100% sure what you really want. Can you be more specific about the data you want to keep, and when this meta data is created?

Since you do create the tiddlers automatically. Is it possible to crate the meta data, that you wan to keep in a separated directoy eg: ./tiddlers/meta/

You could us git VCS (version control system) to keep the history. It would be possible to switch back and forth if needed.

Thanks @pmario for your comments. I modify my question and hope it is clear now.
