Wiki Sync:

• Triggers automatically on docs/ changes
• Uses existing docs/ folder as source of truth
• Transforms to wiki format via custom scripts
• Publishes to .wiki.git repository

GitHub Pages:

• Triggers automatically on docs/ changes
• Builds VitePress static site
• Deploys to gh-pages branch
• No transformation needed (VitePress reads markdown directly)

Wiki Sync: Requires PROJECTS_TOKEN secret (Personal Access Token with repo scope) GitHub Pages: Uses GITHUB_TOKEN (no additional setup)

Automatic:

• Docs update in docs/ → Both Wiki and Pages auto-update (2-5 minutes)
• No manual intervention needed
• Logs available in Actions tab

Manual:

• Workflow_dispatch for force sync (if needed)
• Both workflows can be triggered manually

1. GitHub Wiki: Quick reference, community-familiar, native GitHub feature
2. GitHub Pages: Professional presentation, search, SEO, modern navigation
3. Single Source: docs/ folder is source of truth for both
4. No duplication: Both sync from same source automatically

• Fast, modern, Vue-based static site generator
• Built-in search (no Algolia required)
• Excellent mobile support
• GitHub-flavored Markdown
• Easy customization
• Used by Vue.js, Vite, Vitest official docs

User preference: "Fully automatic on every commit" + "Regularly with features"

• Ensures docs are always current
• Reduces maintenance burden
• Prevents drift between sources
• Matches existing workflow automation philosophy

✅ Wiki updates within 2 minutes of docs/ commit ✅ GitHub Pages deploys within 5 minutes of docs/ commit ✅ All internal links work in both Wiki and Pages ✅ Search works on Pages (finds all content) ✅ Mobile-responsive on both platforms ✅ Zero sync conflicts or failed deployments ✅ Single source of truth maintained (docs/) ✅ No duplicate content

1. Setup PROJECTS_TOKEN secret:

   • Go to GitHub Settings → Developer settings → Personal Access Tokens
   • Generate new token with public_repo scope
   • Add as PROJECTS_TOKEN secret in repository settings (already configured for this repo)

2. Enable GitHub Pages:

   • Go to Repository Settings → Pages
   • Source: GitHub Actions
   • Wait for first deployment

3. Enable Wiki:

   • Go to Repository Settings → Features
   • Enable "Wikis"

4. Test workflows:

   • Make a docs/ change
   • Commit to main
   • Verify both workflows run
   • Check Wiki and Pages updated

• Custom domain for GitHub Pages
• Algolia DocSearch integration (for better search)
• Multi-language support (i18n)
• Versioned documentation (multiple versions on Pages)
• Wiki templates for common page types
• Analytics integration (Google Analytics, Plausible)

Expected Performance:

• Wiki sync: 1-2 minutes
• Pages build: 2-3 minutes
• Pages deploy: 30-60 seconds
• Total time: 3-5 minutes from commit to live

Monitoring:

• Check GitHub Actions tab for workflow runs
• Both workflows have success/failure notifications
• Logs show detailed progress

Troubleshooting:

• Wiki sync failures usually due to PROJECTS_TOKEN permissions
• Pages deploy failures usually due to Pages not enabled
• Both workflows have detailed error messages
