This article or section is a stub. Stubs are articles that have not yet received substantial attention from the authors. They are short or insufficient pieces of information and require additions to further increase the article's usefulness. The project values stubs as useful first steps toward complete articles. See Wiki workflow and Wikipedia:Stub for more details on this process. See all the stubs in Category:Stubs

Olelo, or Git-Wiki, is a wiki that uses git to manage pages. Olelo is written in Ruby and uses the Catalyst MVC web framework.

Git-Wiki stores the pages in a git repository. Therefore you can use all the benefits of the revision control software (distributed content etc). Multiple markup languages are supported via plugins. The wiki has a very extensible architecture. Custom markup can be added via filters. Additional tags can be added (e.g. the math tag which is provided for LaTeX-rendering).

• Home + demo

• Sandbox

• https://github.com/geekq/git-wiki
  • Support for images and attachments - You can add images to /img folder of your git repository. Subfolders are also supported. At least gif, png and jpg supported
  • Custom h1 header - If your wiki page contains a markdown h1 header, then this one is used on the page.
  • Sections - Content separated by headers like h1 is wrapped with divs, so you can style such blocks as you wish. Every header gets a unique id
  • Style - You can provide a custom stylesheet for your wiki or project in the project.css file.
  • Wiki in a subfolder - You can use git-wiki for documentation of your software project. Simply put all the content in markdown format into a subfolder, e.g. wiki and provide the folder name as optional parameter.
  • Upstream git repository
  • Integrated TODO list(s)
  • Inclusion - You can include tasks from other wiki pages.
  • No wiki words - For a hacker the wiki words is more a distraction than a help.
