In Preview for GitHub Markup - need some feedbackI've used Gollum (https://github.com/github/gollum) which is a pretty straight-forward little wiki and works well in a small company.
In Ask HN: Does your team use an internal wiki?I think I misinterpreted the parent, none the less. https://github.com/github/gollum
In Why every programmer should have a TiddlywikiGollum[1] is really nice for that. It power's GitHub's wiki feature. All pages are in Git, and it supports several markup languages including MediaWiki but also Markdown, Textile, etc. Nice, clean interface, nice editing toolbar. Open source. Just clone the git repository where your pages are and run the "gollum" command to start up the server.

In Why every programmer should have a TiddlywikiPersonally use github's gollum: https://github.com/github/gollum which is pretty awesome and git-backed.
Allows you to do all your wiki pages in markdown and a sleugh of other markup formats. Plus, did I mention git backed?!

It's the wiki that powers Github, so you use it with Git and it's markdown enabled. I thought it was a pretty great tool

In Ask HN: Have you seen any cool / innovative uses of git and/or github?Another neat project is Gollum as released by Github which gives you a nice simple layout to a git-back wiki (https://github.com/github/gollum ). Development seems a little slow though, with seemingly important pull requests like this one stuck with no official response:
https://github.com/github/gollum/pull/121
I've also just noticed that notepag.es is open source, and so you can host it on your server (but need to set up node.js and MongoDB).
Finally, the concept is very similar to the now defunct infogami (which I believe was funded by YC and then merged with reddit?), by Aaron Swartz.
In Show HN: Notepag.es - Markdown/LaTeX editor for quick technical documents.There is also GitHub's gollum [1] . It's also uses git as storage. Gollum supports a lot of formats for page content and some of these formats have a good support in Vim.

8 points · Open discussionThe code behind the Git-based wiki is also open source so you can view and edit your wiki locally via a nice web interface, and build your own tools using the API: http://github.com/github/gollum
In GitHub is making me lazy but I like itYou may also be interested to see how the Readme evolved over time as I implemented what I had specified.

Writing your Readme first doesn't mean you should never change it. It should grow and become even more refined, comprehensive, and accurate as you write the code.
