Github + Textmate Wiki bundle = Giki damien

March 11th, 2008

In the past year we've probably gone through about 3 different wikis. Either they don't have things like email notifications with a diff, have their own special markup language or cost what is unwieldy amount for just a wiki.

We've scrapped all of these and have now migrated to a private Github repo containing markdown files managed with the help of the Textmate Wiki Bundle. The simplest solutions are the best.

    That is awesome!

    Any suggestions that’d make the bundle easier to use, or features that should be built in?

    Thanks for the amazing plugin Matt!

    What we’d really like would be markdown syntax highlighting. I made a tiny change so that we could use .markdown extensions but then gave up on actually getting the syntax highlighting working. It’s as if we want to use two languages at the same time, but I’m guessing that’s not possible…

    Sounds similar to IkiWiki. Whatever software you use, I feel like wiki content definitely belongs in git. It’s been great so far.
