Not many wiki site engines based on Markdown work directly from git as cleanly as this.

There's a few of them though, such as this old Ruby lang standby with a decade's worth of features that a decade ago was a way to host your same GitHub Pages site locally, supporting SSO:

Wikmd is another git / markdown / plain text file storage wiki.

I can’t remember why I switched from gollum to wikmd. I suspect installed size might be why.

https://tina.io/ tinacms is very modern & well built, git markdown typescript. and headless or with template components.

it's such an epic feat, how programmers have grown up to manage source over time & changes. i very much hope this richness cam extend beyond code some day, stop being arbitrary UI we craft & become good data structures that transcend each application.

We actually switched from Gollum to OtterWiki!

I really enjoyed Gollum for awhile, but I'm not a Rubyist, and past a certain point, every time I tried to run it or Jekyll I got dependency problems that I'd eventually solve, but without understanding. It was undoubtedly user error; I should definitely have learned and used rvm or something.

gitlab wikis — separate repos to the main project repo that folks can clone/edit/push just like any repo.

personally i prefer confluence though. just find it faster to dump things out.

It should be noted that goolum is AFAIK still the backend behind GitLabs Wikis. It works quite well Ime and was easy to setup/use for basic Markdown Documents.

Ikiwiki is nice. It's also a static wiki compiler and tries very hard to minimize the amount of rebuilding for each edit.

An even older one is my gitit, started in 2008!

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/gitit-0.15.1.2

It doesn't limit itself to markdown, nor to git (you can use darcs, hg, or even sqlite). A bit long in the tooth, though -- I stopped working on it once spam started to make self-hosted public wikis untenable.
