Gollum

40 13,559 7.0 Ruby

A simple, Git-powered wiki with a local frontend and support for many kinds of markup and content.

Project mention: Can Git or any other VCS be used as a database instead of SQL/NoSQL ones? Have you ever seen such a thing? | /r/AskProgramming | 2023-12-07

Arguably something like ikiwiki or gollum is doing this. These are both wikis that use git as their backend 'database'. I happen to like wikis like this a lot better over wikis that store their data in mysql or some other traditional SQL backend.

Project mention: Xeme: I'd value your opinion on my new Ruby gem | /r/ruby | 2023-05-29

In addition to project documentation, you've included a lot of code comments. You could adopt a standardized format and use it to generate API documentation. RDoc and YARD are two options. If I were reviewing this code at work, I would probably ask you to remove comments that explain what, not why.
