Documenters Guide to Git

Github wiki is the same and different to other wikis.

While you can create and edit new pages with the online GUI, you cannot add a screen shot unless you use git and checkout the repository.

The wiki repository is different to the source repository. To make changes you can do the following:

git clone git@github.com:k9mail/k-9.wiki.git; cd k-9.wiki;

Add files to the directory

git add FILE1 FILE2 FILE2; git commit; git push"

But You can't do this unless your a member of the project.

Another catch for the files.

When you create or edit a file. The edit box at the top will contain the filename of the file. The first line of the file must have a # followed by the text for the page title. If the first line is not a # followed by text, the title of the page will be the filename; whats in the edit box.

If you change whats in the edit box, the filename changes. Pages that pointed to the old filename will break.
