Sync with gitlab/github project's wiki repository

[cesarizu-incine]

There seems to be no way to sync with a gitlab/github project's wiki. The repository for the wiki is not the same as the main repository. The url is the same but with .wiki.git instead of .git. This applies to both github and gitlab.

See:

• https://docs.github.com/en/communities/documenting-your-project-with-wikis/adding-or-editing-wiki-pages#cloning-wikis-to-your-computer
• https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/wiki/#create-or-edit-wiki-pages-locally

Is there a way to sync with the wiki repository of a project instead of the main repository?

Hi @cesarizu-incine - good question. Do you have an example of a public wiki I could look into? We offer the option to sync with monorepos: https://docs.gitbook.com/integrations/git-sync/monorepos

I'm wondering if setting the monorepo directory to the wiki path would work?

There are a lot of examples for GitHub here (GitLab works the exact same way): https://github.com/MyHoneyBadger/awesome-github-wiki?tab=readme-ov-file#examples

Just one example from that list:

• Main Repo: https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
• Wiki Repo: https://github.com/facebook/react-native.wiki.git

It is a different repository, so using the monorepo directory wouldn't work.

Hi @cesarizu-incine - I see now, it's a good feature request. I've moved it to our community, where this feature request would fit better! Feel free to leave more context there for us to check out.

Thanks again for filing, I'm going to close this feature request in this repository for now.

Hey @cesarizu-incine - just wanted to update: You can actually import a GitHub Wiki into GitBook!

Hope that helps!
