git-wiki

git-wiki is a wiki that relies on git to keep pages' history and Sinatra to serve them. See git-wiki's homepage for more informations.

git-wiki relies on the fellowing gems:

• git (the gem, as in gem install git)
• BlueCloth
• rubypants

Sinatra and HAML are vendored as git submodules. To get them, run the fellowing commands :

% cd git-wiki
% git submodule init
% git submodule update
# this step is needed because sinatra itself use git submodule
% cd vendor/sinatra
% git submodule init
% git submodule update

Note that git-wiki is released under the terms of the WTPL so really, you can do what the fuck you want with it.

Tip: run git-wiki as a daemon

1. Install the gem daemons.

   % sudo gem install daemons

2. Create a new service (don't forget to modify the path to git-wiki)

% sudo cat > /etc/init.d/git-wiki <<EOF
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'daemons'
Daemons.run('/home/simon/src/git-wiki/git-wiki.rb',
     :dir_mode   => :system,
     :log_output => true,
     :mode       => :exec
)
EOF

1. Install it as a boot service. On Ubuntu, run

   % sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d git-wiki defaults
