git-wiki: because who needs cool names when you use git?

git-wiki is a wiki that relies on git to keep pages' history and Sinatra to serve them.

I wrote git-wiki as a quick and dirty hack, mostly to play with Sinatra. It turned out that Sinatra is an awesome little web framework and that this hack isn't as useless as I first though since I now use it daily.

However, it is definitely not feature rich and will probably never be because I mostly use it as a web frontend for git, ls and vim.

If you want history, search, etc. you should look at other people's forks, especially al3x's one.

Quotes

[...] the first wiki engine I'd consider worth using for my own projects.

Oh, it looks like Git Wiki may be the starting point for what I need...

Tom Morris on "How to build the perfect wiki"

What makes git-wiki so cool is because it is backed by a git store, you can clone your wiki just like you could any other git repository. I’ve always wanted a wiki that I could a.) pull offline when I didn’t have access to the Internets and b.) edit (perhaps in bulk) in my favorite text editor. git-wiki allows both.

Cloning your wiki

Numerous people have written diff and merge systems for wikis; TWiki even uses RCS. If they used git instead, the repository would be tiny, and you could make a personal copy of the entire wiki to take on the plane with you, then sync your changes back when you're done.
