Git-Wiki is a wiki that stores pages in a Git repository.
See the demo installation at http://git-wiki.kicks-ass.org/.
A lot of the features are implemented as plugins.
- History
- Show diffs
- Edit page, upload files
- Section editing
- Plugin system
- Multiple renderers
- LaTeX/Graphviz
- Syntax highlighting (embedded code blocks)
- Image support, SVG support
- Auto-generated table of contents (via nokogiri)
- Templates
- XML tag soup can be used to extend Wiki syntax
First, you have to install the Gem dependencies via gem:
gem sources -a http://gemcutter.org
gem install creole
gem install gitrb
gem install mimemagic
gem install haml
gem install rack
gem install mongrel --source http://gems.rubyinstaller.org
# other rack-esi implementations should also work
# just try it
gem install minad-rack-esi
# this is a more current version of rack-cache with bugfixes
# TODO: replace this with official release when new version is released
gem install minad-rack-cache
gem install nokogiri
gem install rdiscount
gem install RedCloth
gem install maruku
gem install rubypants
gem install imaginator
gem install evaluator
gem install rack-embed
Then, run the program using the command:
./run.ru -smongrel -p4567
Point your web browser at http://localhost:4567.
Git-Wiki automatically creates a repository in the directory ./.wiki.
For production purposes, I recommend that you deploy the wiki with Mongrel. You can use the WIKI_CONFIG environment variable to specify multiple wiki configurations.
- nokogiri for auto-generated table of contents
- imaginator for LaTeX/GraphViz output
(
imaginatorGem from gemcutter) - Pygments for syntax highlighting
- ImageMagick for image scaling and svg rendering
- RubyPants to fix punctuation
At least one of these renderers should be installed:
