I have a private repo that's part of an organization on GitHub. I don't see the normal link to the repo's wiki that I've seen on many other repos. How do I get to it?
I did a little more digging and figured this out, decided I’d document it for the next person. The GitHub wiki is a setting that’s off by default. From the repo page select Settings on the right side, then in the Features section check Wikis.

I've worked on a project with a friend and we've used Github, but she is the owner of the repository, and I would like to have this repo on my Github profile too.
yes, I am a contributor of the repo, and,
yes, I've done lot of commits.
Google is not helping me, I have only found an old question about this topic (here) but I do not find the button they are talking about:
sceenshot of what I see when clicking "customize your pins"
Any clue ?
Ensure on your profile settings you have checked the contributions section (it's below).
Also, you might be contributing to a branch so maybe the contributions will reflect after your friend merges the branch to the default branch
We have hired a 3rd party to work on a project, we started by not creating any Repo on our Github, but they started with their Repo. So now it's time to transfer the repo. However, in order to transfer the repo, the developer is asking permission to create a Repo in our Org... but as far as I know, I can only invite him first as a collaborator, a member, before he can create any private repo in our Org... that means he can see our other repo...
I couldn't find any good answer online, please help. Thanks!
Have you tried using Github's Organization features? You can create an organization with your team members in it, and control who has access to what.
Here's a Github page that explains a bit more about how it works.
Do not add them as a member to your Org! (this is the only option today from Github, nor owners...of course). If you do so, this will give your external developer access to all of your repos.
The only way I found you can safely invite an external user is to create a Repo first, then add them in that Repo. By doing that, they will be invited only to that repo, and have no access to the others.
This is my workaround. If you have a better solution, please do comment. I am curious how the "transfer" feature works.
In a recent publication, I included a link to the GitHub repository for the code.
https://github.com/martinkrz/posepi1
This link is now in the literature, so I cannot easily change it. I'm wondering whether there's some way to have requests to the repo page (I can't find anything on this) be automatically forwarded to the GitHub Page for the project, which is at
https://martinkrz.github.io/posepi1/
Again, I need a redirect by GitHub.com because I'm practically stuck with the https://github.com/martinkrz/posepi1 link in the published literature.
No, this isn't possible. If it were, it wouldn't be possible for anyone to view the repository's overview page anymore, which would make doing common tasks difficult.
You could try updating your repository README to point to the place you'd like people to go, but that's the extent of the changes you can make.
This is not possible. You cannot (and to be honest nobody should) change or create self-executing code on your GitHub repository.
And thus, you cannot redirect users.
But you can put the GitHub Pages link into the description of the repository and/or add it as a link in the README.md
The link could be
Click here to see the code in action!
or something like that
I recently created a global wiki for my company in a Github repo. It's an empty repository which I created just to use its wiki.
My problem: on the front page of this wiki repo, the Readme is displayed. And this Readme is empty, except for a link to the wiki's home.
I want to display this home on the front page of the repo. Is it possible?
Probably is better to use https://pages.github.com/ you could even go further and use hugo, in long term could be easy to maintain since you just keep track of all your articles/posts within a repo.
Regarding your question probably a redirect from the main repo to the wiki may work, check the docs for more info: https://help.github.com/categories/github-pages-basics/
With a redirect, I mean that you will need to have an index.html redirecting to the wiki URL.
What is the difference between a GitHub gist and GitHub wiki page?
I have steps that I want to share with the GitHub community so they can modify their profile settings. But unsure which one to use
Gist is an independent service with some really nice metadata including when it was last active and versioning, just like GitHub proper. Wikis don't check into git as a version control system.
