This project shows a basic Wiki implementation based on GitHub as content repository, Travis for automatic builds, XSLT as scripting language and DITA as the source format.
http://georgebina.github.io/ghd-wiki
The content stays in the master branch in the wiki subfolder and you can place there DITA topics which will be automatically published by travis to HTML using the publish/publish.xsl XSLT script and commited on the gh-pages branch which is served by GitHub Pages as a website.
To get the same functionality under your account, you need to follow the steps below:
-
Fork the project
-
Under the Settings tab in GitHub make sure the GitHub Pages section says
Your GitHub Pages site is currently being built from the gh-pages branch. -
Go to Travis website and use the Sign in with GitHub action then authorize Travis to access your account - this is needed to enable automatic building of the Wiki output as HTML and comminting the result on the gh-pages branch
-
Identify then the forked repository and activate it using the Activate repository action
-
Under More options->Settings
- Enable Build only if .travis.yml is present
- Disable Build pull requests
- Define the GH_TOKEN variable under Environment Variables by setting its value to a GitHub Token that you can generate from GitHub in order to enable Travis to commit on your GitHub repository. To obtain that value, you need to go to GitHub and under Settings there is a Personal access tokens section. Use the Generate new token button to generate a token and enable the options under the repo category. Copy the token value and use it to define the value of the GH_TOKEN variable
- Define the WEBHELP_LICENSE variable under Environment Variables by setting its value to the oXygen Webhelp license key, eclosed in quotes - this will be used by the publishing process to build the webhelp output. You can obtain a trial license from http://oxygenxml.com/xml_webhelp/register.html
-
You need to push some changes to GitHub on the master branch to force an initial build that will fix the links for the generated website to be for your project, rather than for the forked project. One possibility is to edit this file and push it to the repository, then you should find the updated website on GitHub Pages.
-
Check on the Travis website and see when the build is finalised, then your project GitHub Pages will be up-to-date and you can use the generated website.
##Note The GitHub Pages URL where you can see the Wiki is something like http://georgebina.github.io/ghd-wiki If you forked the project then the URL needs to be updated to contain your user name and your project name.
##Note Creating a new file requires you to paste the initial content of a topic, which you can find below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD LW DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd">
<topic id="topic_ohd_twt_1x">
