Option to init empty wiki Git remote repository upon repository creation

[cadrian]

Describe the feature

Hello,

On GitHub, there is this feature that for a given repo, its regular git url is repo.git, but the wiki is available at repo.wiki.git (on the GUI: "Clone this wiki locally")

Is there a way to implement that on Gogs?

Thanks!

Describe the solution you'd like

In the same way I pull my regular code from repo.git, I'd like to pull my wiki from repo.wiki.git

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can still create a specific wiki git repository, but I am not sure there is a way to make the wiki work with Gogs... What would the external URL be? How would people be able to change the wiki so that it is reflected in the wiki git repo?

It could also be a specific branch in the main repo, but that would be hard to reconcile with repositories that are mirrored on both GitHub and Gogs (yes, I have those)

If I understand your ask correctly, Gogs supports this from day 1, since this is a feature/design I like lot on GitHub.

Bonus... if there is no bug (LOL), when you migrate/mirror a repository, Gogs would make an attempt to see if <repo>.wiki.git has a valid Git response, if so, migrate that over as well.

Sorry but I don't find it:

Furthermore, Gogs does not respond favorably to an initial push request:

Do I need to create a page first? How is it reconciled with the existing wiki I want to push?

[unknwon]

Oh right, I think you’d have to create a first page until the UI could be shown (at when the remote wiki Git repo is created).

Once the remote wiki Git repo is created on the server side, a force push might do the trick?

[cadrian]

Yes. It worked. I don't know the --force option. Thanks!
(But maybe that could be an improvement?) ;-)

[unknwon]

Yes. It worked. I don't know the --force option. Thanks! (But maybe that could be an improvement?) ;-)

Not a bad idea, just to clarify, the intended improvement is: Give an option to also init wiki Git repo at the main repo creation? (in that case you can start push your existing wiki, just like pushing an existing local repo to an empty remote repo)

[cadrian]

Yes! That would be great :) Thanks!
