BerryWiki

This wiki is written in BerryWiki's own format and its sidebar was generated by BerryWiki. It is the working example: everything you are reading lives in berrywiki.wiki.git as plain Markdown, and every page carries a hidden metadata comment that GitHub does not render.

If BerryWiki vanished tomorrow, this wiki would keep working exactly as it does now — that is the whole point of the project.

What BerryWiki is

A companion layer for GitHub.com Wikis that gives them a CherryTree/Zim-style hierarchical notebook: a page tree, sibling ordering, backlinks, consistency diagnostics and a generated _Sidebar.md that GitHub renders natively.

Where to go next

The core principle

The wiki must stay fully usable when BerryWiki is not.

You can always clone <repo>.wiki.git, read and edit the Markdown in any editor, commit, push, and view it through GitHub's normal Wiki UI. BerryWiki enhances the files; it never makes them depend on the app. Any design that would break plain-git usage is rejected rather than worked around.
