How to access the raw markdown source for a github wiki page

November 30, 2012 1:44 am

This is not entirely obvious (at least it wasn’t for me), but since Github wikis are actually backed by a proper Git repo, I figured it should be possible to access the raw markdown for a page by using Github’s https://raw.github.com/ style URLs.

After some minor trial/error, it turns out to be very predictable (as many things in github):

https://raw.github.com/wiki/[user]/[project]/[page].md

Just replace the square brackets’ stuff with your values and that’s it. I think I’ll be trying this out with a wiki page as a Release Notes landing page, which I just pull in raw format on a build script and replace the Nuget node with its content…
