## DESCRIPTION
Gollum is a simple wiki built on top of Git that powers GitHub Wikis. Gollum
is designed so that you can create a compliant Git repository (known as a
Gollum repository) either by hand, by calling API methods, or via the web
interface.
Gollum is a simple wiki system built on top of Git that powers GitHub Wikis.
We are making the source available so that you may test your wikis locally if
you choose to edit them by hand.
Gollum wikis are simply Git repositories that adhere to a specific format.
Gollum pages may be written in a variety of formats and can be edited in a
number of ways depending on your needs. You can edit your wiki locally:
* With your favorite text editor or IDE.
* With the built-in web interface.
* With the Gollum Ruby API.
Gollum follows the rules of [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/) and uses
[TomDoc](http://tomdoc.org/) for inline documentation.
