GitHub Wiki Setup Instructions

This directory contains all the markdown files for the Cloud-Native E-commerce Platform GitHub Wiki. Follow these instructions to set up the wiki.

Setting Up the GitHub Wiki

1. Enable the Wiki feature in your GitHub repository:

   • Go to your GitHub repository
   • Click on "Settings"
   • Scroll down to "Features" section
   • Make sure "Wikis" is checked/enabled

2. Clone the wiki repository:

   # Clone the wiki repository (separate from the main repo)
   git clone https://github.com/sloweyyy/cloud-native-ecommerce-platform.wiki.git
   cd cloud-native-ecommerce-platform.wiki

3. Copy the wiki files:

   # Copy all markdown files from the wiki directory to the wiki repository
   cp -r /path/to/cloud-native-ecommerce-platform/wiki/*.md .

4. Rename Home.md:

   # Ensure Home.md exists (GitHub wiki uses this as the landing page)
   # If it doesn't exist, rename one of your files to Home.md

5. Commit and push to the wiki:

   git add .
   git commit -m "docs: add comprehensive wiki documentation"
   git push origin master
