:small_blue_diamond: What are Repo Wiki Files?

Repo Wiki Files are documentation files stored inside a repository’s wiki system. They are usually written in Markdown (.md) or reStructuredText (.rst) and serve as a knowledge base or technical documentation for the project.
They provide a space to explain:

  • Project overview

  • Setup instructions

  • API references

  • Tutorials and guides

  • Contribution rules

In simple terms, repo wiki files act like a mini documentation site attached to your repository.

:small_blue_diamond: How are they Generated?

In Qoder, Repo Wiki Files are typically generated in one of two ways:

  1. Manual Creation – You can directly add .md files in the wiki section of your repo.

  2. Automatic Generation – Qoder can generate wiki pages automatically from:

    • README files

    • Code comments / docstrings

    • Predefined templates (like API docs, changelogs, or FAQs)

    • Imported external documentation

This automation helps keep documentation consistent and always in sync with the codebase.

:small_blue_diamond: How can they be Used in Qoder?

Repo Wiki Files in Qoder can be used for:

  • Centralized Documentation – Keeping project knowledge in one place.

  • Team Collaboration – Multiple developers can update wiki pages just like code.

  • Version Control – Each change in the wiki is tracked in Git, so history is preserved.

  • Integration – Qoder can link wiki files with issues, pull requests, or specific code modules.

  • Publishing – Wiki pages can be exported or published as a documentation site for end-users.

:white_check_mark: In short:
Repo Wiki Files in Qoder are structured documentation pages, generated automatically, and used for maintaining project knowledge, team collaboration, and publishing documentation.

Great but where are they stored? I’ve only come across SQ lite databases, with references, I can see that it’s generating markdown files but I cannot find where they’re stored.

It is stored in an encrypted SQLite database on the local personal computer.

I disagree that the files are stored in a local SQLite database. I connect to a server via SSH from multiple computers, and I can access the wiki repository on any computer after logging into Qoder. Before logging in, the wiki repository is not available, and I don’t need to reinitialize the repository when switching computers. This indicates that the wiki files are stored online or on the remote SSH server, while the encryption key is also stored remotely.
