Publishing the Wiki

Publishing the Wiki

The files in this folder are named to match GitHub wiki conventions. GitHub stores wiki pages in a separate repository ending in .wiki.git, so publishing is mostly a matter of copying these files into that repo.

For this project, the source repository is:

https://github.com/BlakeEvans28/Pans_Trial_3

The live GitHub wiki repository is:

https://github.com/BlakeEvans28/Pans_Trial_3.wiki.git

What GitHub Expects

  • Home.md becomes the wiki landing page.
  • _Sidebar.md becomes the shared navigation sidebar.
  • Every other *.md file becomes a wiki page.

Publish Steps

  1. Enable the Wiki feature in the GitHub repository settings if it is not already enabled.
  2. Clone the wiki repo:
git clone https://github.com/BlakeEvans28/Pans_Trial_3.wiki.git
  1. Copy the contents of this local wiki/ folder into the root of the cloned wiki repo.
  2. Commit and push:
git add .
git commit -m "Update Pan's Trial digital report wiki"
git push

Suggested Local Workflow

Keep this repo folder as the source-of-truth draft set, then refresh the live GitHub wiki whenever the docs need an update.

That gives you:

  • normal repo review for docs
  • versioned wiki source
  • easy reuse in reports or README updates

Optional Additions

If you want richer wiki presentation later, you can also add:

  • _Footer.md
  • image folders copied into the wiki repo when screenshots are ready
  • page-specific screenshots listed on Media and References
  • changelog or release-history pages

Important Note

The GitHub wiki is not automatically synced with this project folder. After editing these files locally, you still need to copy them into the .wiki.git repository and push the changes.
