Jekyll Wiki

Nope, this isn't a wiki about Jekyll -- it's a repo using Jekyll to generate a wiki (based on the Digital Garden Jekyll Template). To fork your own wiki from this example, change the baseurl and url to your own hosting solution in _config.yml, and change the edit_base_url there to your version control. Then fill out the /_wiki/ folder with your words.

Features

• GitHub Pages out of the box
• Write your wiki in MarkDown
• Navigate the wiki on static site or from GitHub itself -- links get converted
• Link previews on hover
• Instant search, surfacing page titles and content
• Sidebar has list of every page that links here
• Random-page button
• Edit button, to edit page on GitHub
• 404 page has link to create the file
• Site map of all pages (non-standard format -- for humans)

You may choose to enable a plugin that colours links to nonexistent files red, in _config.yml, but take heed that the plugin may not be particularly stable.

Demo

Advice

Make sure filenames are in snake-case and have no other punctuation. For links, use the format [link text](/_wiki/filename.md) including the leading slash, to ensure links work on both GitHub's file previewer and the static site itself.
