to
git clone https://github.com/[user]/[repo].wiki.git

Can you link a MD file to you repository's wiki?

So I'm using an npm package called jsdoc-to-markdown to generate my documentation files, and I want to link them to that same repo's wiki. So how would I do that??

On GitHub, your wiki's git repository is stored at "https://github.com/org/repo.wiki.git". You'll want to copy your files to there and then push to it.
EDIT: For you, that would be https://github.com/ErrorBot1122/Roblox-File-Handler.wiki.git.

How to transfer Github Gist to Repository?

I am new to Github. I recently have created a gist https://gist.github.com/8d11e24576c94b2c07a9a48288082588.git and want to transfer it to my repository at https://github.com/Muhammad-Ammar-Masood/Log-In-Page.git.
The simpler approach would be to clone your repository, and copy in it your gist, as a new file.
From there, add, commit and push.
Note that you can, from command-line, list your gists with gh girst list and view the content of a particular gist with gh gist view
gh gist view https://gist.github.com/8d11e24576c94b2c07a9a48288082588.git
(you need to install gh first)
You can also, since yesterday, do it online by going to your repository Muhammad-Ammar-Masood/Log-In-Page, and use GitHub Codespace by typing ..
You can add your gist in the online VSCode there.
You can, download Github Desktop on "https://desktop.github.com/", log in , create a new repository with GitHub Desktop, then choose a local directory on your PC for the newly created repository.

why everytime readme file is being published?

I am struggling to figure out why the only thing I see on github page is the read me file.
I followed the instructions to publish to a github page here :
https://abhiverma04.github.io/dummycv/
my repo
https://github.com/abhiverma04/dummycv
Looks like readme.md takes priority over index.html.
You can either make orphan gh-page branch and put all your files (except readme.md) to this branch. Or create /docs folder and copy all your files to the /docs folder except of readme.md. And after this action enable the relevant sourcesetting in GitHub pages as it is described in the GitHub documentation

Change the default opening file github pages

So i create a simple test repository https://github.com/mugas/imdb/.
The branch is gh-pages and I have an index.html file but it still opens the readme.md file instead. How can I change it to open the index.html?
Thanks
Github Pages does not effect your normal repository page. It effects your github.io page.
You'll want to read the Github Help for Pages Basics and the instructions for Configuring Github Pages.

How do you completely remove a file on github

I've seen the command needed to remove a file and erase it from the history on git. Is there a way to do this with the github website? If not, it looks like I need to know where the file is to do it with a git command. Where does github store the local repositories?
See: https://help.github.com/articles/remove-sensitive-data
To get a local version of the repository, look up the URL from the repo page on Github and clone as explained in the link above.
