## What it is
Jingo is a git-based wiki engine for Node.js that stores pages as GitHub-flavored markdown files in a git repository, requiring no database. It offers full-page search, revision history with diffs and restore, custom sidebars/footers, Gollum compatibility, and optional auto-push to a remote.

## Use cases
- self-hosted wiki for a development team
- git-based markdown wiki without a database
- host team documentation using git and markdown
- gollum-compatible wiki on node.js
- simple knowledge base with page revision history
- centralized docs area for developers who already use git

## When to choose
- Your team already works with git and markdown and wants low-overhead documentation
- You want a github-wiki/Gollum-compatible wiki you can host outside github
- You need versioned documentation with diffs but no database to maintain
- You want a lightweight, configurable wiki that works behind a proxy

## When to avoid
- You need an actively developed wiki with a large modern community and ecosystem
- You need WYSIWYG rich-text editing or non-markdown content formats
- You need fine-grained access control beyond reading/writing whitelists
- You need a multi-tenant or cloud-hosted wiki out of the box
