List all wiki pages on wiki `Home` page

Question

I'm looking for a way to list all pages on the wiki Home page instead of the standard welcome message. Here's an example of what I want: https://github.com/yahoo/oozie/wiki

Solution 1

Got it! The trick was to delete the Home page, but it was impossible to do directly from github.

Here's a workaround: Go to wiki / Git Access and clone the wiki repository with the provided link. In the cloned repo just delete the file representing the Home page (in my case it was Home.md). Push the changes back.

Solution 2

As of at least July 2014, none of these suggestions work anymore. They will seem to work at first, and you'll get the page full of links as your homepage, but only temporarily. Regardless of how you delete or rename the Home page, it will be auto-created again the next time you make edits to the wiki.

Solution 3

I just went to Home page (something like https://github.com/user/repo/wiki), then clicked Edit page and then Delete page.

And one important thing: if you deleted Home page and want to get it back — just create a new page with name Home.

Solution 4

It's possible to delete the home page with git:

git clone https://github.com/ORG/REPO.wiki.git
cd REPO.wiki
rm Home.md
git add .
git commit -m "remove wiki homepage"
git push

Update: GitHub automatically added a Initial Home page commit that reset created a Home.md. So my alternative is generating the Home page myself:

• git push

• Create a Home.rb file with this content:

  #!/usr/bin/env ruby
  File.write('Home.md', Dir['*.md'].reject { |f| f == "Home.md" }.map { |f|
    "- [#{f.gsub('.md', '').gsub(/-+/, ' ')}](#{f.gsub('.md', '')})"
  }.join("\n"))
  

• ruby Home.rb

• git add .
• git commit -m "generated home page"
• git push

Solution 5

I have just figured out how to do it: Go to Home page > click Edit page > Delete the title and content > Click save. Done, you will see something like https://github.com/host-gator/t/wiki

the best way is to create a new wiki page, then change the page title to home.. easy! credit to @owahab

I tried this, page would refresh after Delete, but then still existed. Perhaps Github glitch, or intentional, dunno.

So when you go to the wiki (via the sidebar link) to which page you land ?

This doesn't seem to work any more. Worse, GH now creates a default home page even if you delete one.

Looks like GitHub re-creates the Home page after a moment :(

@GrantWinney It generates a Home.md file that I update with the script every one in a while
