Feature request: import files from Github wiki page

Open ianchen0119 opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

At present, HackMD allows user to import any *.md from their own repo on Github, I think if HackMD adds the new feature that supports files imported from Github wiki will be better.

This issue is more about HackMD.io, moving issue.

I would like to second this as one of the main limitations of using github wiki pages for project documentation is the fact that multiple people could end up editing at the same time and risk loosing stuff.

Github wiki pages are stored in a repository themselves: https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPOSITORY.wiki.git but currently hackmd.io doesn't allow users to select that repository for file sync (ok button is gray if manually inputted).

Github wiki documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/documenting-your-project-with-wikis/adding-or-editing-wiki-pages#adding-or-editing-wiki-pages-locally

Hi all, Based on our understanding, unfortunately GitHub App doesn't provide restful API for editing or viewing wiki pages.
