Clone a Github Repository Wiki

A Github repository's wiki can be an extremely useful tool with amazing information. However not everyone is best at organizing information and I've had mixed results with Github search.

I knew that each repo wiki was versioned and figured it was git but it turns out you can also get access to that.

Just add .wiki to the end of your repo when cloning.

gh repo clone hashrocket/decent_exposure.wiki

Now you have all of the wiki files locally and can search however you feel.
