Gitit

Gitit is a powerful, open-source wiki engine that distinguishes itself by using a distributed version control system (Git, Darcs, or Mercurial) as its backend for storing all wiki pages and data. This fundamental design choice provides inherent benefits such as comprehensive version history, easy rollback capabilities, and the ability for users to work offline and synchronize changes later. Written in Haskell, Gitit offers a stable and performant platform for managing collaborative content.

The tool supports a wide array of markup formats, including Markdown, reStructuredText, and LaTeX, making it versatile for different types of content, from simple notes to complex technical documentation with mathematical equations and code snippets. Its plugin architecture allows for extensive customization and integration with other services, enabling users to tailor the wiki to their specific needs. Gitit is ideal for teams and individuals who prioritize robust version control, extensibility, and the ability to manage their documentation like code.
