How can you use subdirectories in a GitHub wiki checkout?

I'd like to organize my GitHub wiki pages in subdirectories. How do we refer to the pages in subdirectories?

Solution

  • github wiki / gollum-wiki doesn't inherently provide anything explicit for organizing pages into sub-directories. Any page can be linked from any other page irrespective of where it logically belongs. This is a powerful feature that makes wikis very flexible.

    One way to implement a sub-directories structure would be to follow a naming convention.

    Example: Having all pages related to subject1 have names that start with subject1, and so on.
