Gollum is a simple Git-powered wiki with a built-in local web frontend for editing and viewing pages. It supports many markup formats and is compatible with GitHub and GitLab wikis, letting users clone and edit those wikis locally.

Use cases

  • run a personal wiki backed by git
  • edit my GitHub wiki locally
  • self-host a documentation wiki with version history
  • write wiki pages in markdown and other markups
  • browse and revert old versions of wiki pages
  • clone a GitLab wiki and view it offline

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, file-based wiki where content lives in a git repository
  • you need local editing of GitHub/GitLab wikis
  • you value version control, multiple markup formats, and offline access

When to avoid

  • you need a multi-user wiki with fine-grained access control and user management
  • you want a database-backed wiki with rich plugins like MediaWiki or Confluence
  • you need a hosted collaborative wiki for large teams
