## DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Gollum is a simple wiki system built on top of Git that powers GitHub Wikis.
|
|
|
|
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 (changes will be visible after committing).
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
## SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
|
|
|
|
- Python 2.5+ (2.7.3 recommended)
|
|
- Ruby 1.8.7+ (1.9.3 recommended)
|
|
- Unix like operating system (OS X, Ubuntu, Debian, and more)
|
|
- Will not work on Windows (because of [grit](https://github.com/github/grit))
|
|
|
|
## SECURITY
|
|
|
|
Don't enable `--custom-css` or `--custom-js` unless you trust every user who has the ability to edit the wiki.
|
|
A better solution with more security is being tracked in [#665](https://github.com/gollum/gollum/issues/665).
|
|
|
|
## INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
The best way to install Gollum is with RubyGems:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ [sudo] gem install gollum
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're installing from source, you can use [Bundler][bundler] to pick up all the
|
|
gems:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ bundle install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In order to use the various formats that Gollum supports, you will need to
|
|
separately install the necessary dependencies for each format. You only need
|
|
to install the dependencies for the formats that you plan to use.
|
|
|
|
* [ASCIIDoc](http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/) -- `brew install asciidoc` on mac or `apt-get install -y asciidoc` on Ubuntu
|
|
* [Creole](http://wikicreole.org/) -- `gem install creole`
|
|
* [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) -- `gem install redcarpet`
|
|
* [GitHub Flavored Markdown](https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown) -- `gem install github-markdown`
|
|
* [Org](http://orgmode.org/) -- `gem install org-ruby`
|
|
* [Pod](http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl/pod/perlpod.pod) -- `Pod::Simple::HTML` comes with Perl >= 5.10. Lower versions should install Pod::Simple from CPAN.
|
|
* [RDoc](http://rdoc.sourceforge.net/)
|
|
* [ReStructuredText](http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html) -- `easy_install docutils`
|
|
* [Textile](http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/) -- `gem install RedCloth`
|
|
* [MediaWiki](http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting) -- `gem install wikicloth`

|
## SYNTAX
|
|
|
|
Gollum supports a variety of formats and extensions (Markdown, MediaWiki, Textile, …).
|
|
On top of these formats Gollum lets you insert headers, footers, links, image, math and more.
|
|
|
|
Check out the [Gollum Wiki](https://github.com/gollum/gollum/wiki) for all of Gollum's formats and syntactic options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## RUNNING
|
|
|
|
To view and edit your Gollum repository locally via the built in web
|
|
interface, simply install the Gollum gem, navigate to your repository via the
|
|
command line, and run the executable:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ gollum
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will start up a web server running the Gollum frontend and you can view
|
|
and edit your wiki at http://localhost:4567. To get help on the command line
|
|
utility, you can run it like so:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ gollum --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that the gollum server will not run on Windows because of [an issue](https://github.com/rtomayko/posix-spawn/issues/9) with posix-spawn (which is used by Grit).
|
|
|
|
### RACK
|
|
|
|
You can also run gollum with any rack-compatible server by placing this config.ru
|
|
file inside your wiki repository. This allows you to utilize any Rack middleware
|
|
like Rack::Auth, OmniAuth, etc.
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
|
|
require 'rubygems'
|
|
require 'gollum/app'
|
|
|
|
gollum_path = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__)) # CHANGE THIS TO POINT TO YOUR OWN WIKI REPO
|
|
Precious::App.set(:gollum_path, gollum_path)
|
|
Precious::App.set(:default_markup, :markdown) # set your favorite markup language
|
|
Precious::App.set(:wiki_options, {:universal_toc => false})
|
|
run Precious::App
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your Rack middleware can pass author details to Gollum in a Hash in the session under the 'gollum.author' key.
|
|
|
|
## CONFIG FILE
|
|
|
|
Gollum optionally takes a `--config file`. See [config.rb](https://github.com/gollum/gollum/blob/master/config.rb) for an example.
|
|
|
|
## CUSTOM CSS/JS
|
|
|
|
The `--css` flag will inject `custom.css` from the root of your git repository into each page. `custom.css` must be commited to git or you will get a 302 redirect to the create page.
|
|
|
|
The `--js` flag will inject `custom.js` from the root of your git repository into each page. `custom.js` must be commited to git or you will get a 302 redirect to the create page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## API DOCUMENTATION
|
|
|
|
The [Gollum API](https://github.com/gollum/gollum-lib/) allows you to retrieve
|
|
raw or formatted wiki content from a Git repository, write new content to the
|
|
repository, and collect various meta data about the wiki as a whole.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## CONTRIBUTE
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to hack on Gollum, start by forking the repo on GitHub:
|
|
|
|
http://github.com/gollum/gollum
|
|
|
|
To get all of the dependencies, install the gem first. The best way to get
|
|
your changes merged back into core is as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. Clone down your fork
|
|
1. Create a thoughtfully named topic branch to contain your change
|
|
1. Hack away
|
|
1. Add tests and make sure everything still passes by running `rake`
|
|
1. If you are adding new functionality, document it in the README
|
|
1. Do not change the version number, I will do that on my end
|
|
1. If necessary, rebase your commits into logical chunks, without errors
|
|
1. Push the branch up to GitHub
|
|
1. Send a pull request to the gollum/gollum project.
|
