How to publish a Wiki on GitPages

For the wiki website I decided to KISS it (KISS Principle). I wanted a wiki-like for having an easiest maintainability.

My requirements were :

• WYSIWYG
• Install my own Wiki software
• A storage system based on files (no database)
• It has to be Free and Open Source
• Based on HTML and JavaScript exclusively

I founded a nice wiki comparison engine called WikiMatrix by it’s wizard and my requirements it founds me the best solution :

Thats it!

Okay. You want some installable software with WYSIWYG editing which uses file based storage and is Free and Open Source and which is written in HTML, JavaScript.

There is exactly one Wiki available matching your criteria:

• TiddlyWiki

It’s a flat Wiki that is based on JS and can be deployed anywhere also on an USB stick. I was also convinced because an other Fab Lab here in Switzerland (http://www.fablab-renens.ch/) is already using it for it’s workshops and recommend to me to give it a try.

Then, the only things that I had to do was to download it from the official website and save the Html file in my personal Git repo on Fab Academy. The beginning looks like this :

From this point of start I could write my tutorials without effort.
