Wiki

Github built-in Wiki
To edit and create a wiki, go to the wiki tab in the repo, it’s possible to create the wiki in GUI.
To clone the wiki, use the following command (the URL has .wiki.git at the end):

git clone https://github.com/vttc08/your-repo.wiki.git

Github wiki consists of pages, each page is a markdown file which will show up at the sidebar. The wiki name will be sorted alphabetically, so if you want to have a specific order, prefix the page name with numbers (e.g. 01-Introduction.md, 02-Installation.md).

Footers and sidebar can be added to the wiki by creating a _Footer.md and _Sidebar.md file in the root of the wiki.
Each wiki page can be expanded based on subheadings.

Branches
The default branch in github is master, any new branches through Github pull request would be based on master branch. This can be changed.
