List all wiki pages on wiki `Home` page

I'm looking for a way to list all pages on the wiki Home page instead of the standard welcome message. Here's an example of what I want: https://github.com/yahoo/oozie/wiki

In my case, I believe, I added a footer page instead of a regular page. Though I deleted the footer page and recreated it as a regular page with the same name, it did not show in index.

Finally, I recreated it with a different name as a regular page. Now it shows in wiki index.

It's possible to delete the home page with git:

git clone https://github.com/ORG/REPO.wiki.git
cd REPO.wiki
rm Home.md
git add .
git commit -m "remove wiki homepage"
git push

Update: GitHub automatically added a Initial Home page commit that reset created a Home.md. So my alternative is generating the Home page myself:

  • git push

  • Create a Home.rb file with this content:

    #!/usr/bin/env ruby
File.write('Home.md', Dir['*.md'].reject { |f| f == "Home.md" }.map { |f|
  "- [#{f.gsub('.md', '').gsub(/-+/, ' ')}](#{f.gsub('.md', '')})"
}.join("\n"))

  • ruby Home.rb

  • git add .
  • git commit -m "generated home page"
  • git push

Update on this. The delete page option is not available whilst the page is called Home. But if you amend it to something else like home_old, you can then edit it again and you have access to the Delete Page option. You then have the automatic index page without a redundant Home page.

As of at least July 2014, none of these suggestions work anymore. They will seem to work at first, and you'll get the page full of links as your homepage, but only temporarily. Regardless of how you delete or rename the Home page, it will be auto-created again the next time you make edits to the wiki.

I have just figured out how to do it: Go to Home page > click Edit page > Delete the title and content > Click save. Done, you will see something like https://github.com/host-gator/t/wiki

I just went to Home page (something like https://github.com/user/repo/wiki), then clicked Edit page and then Delete page.

And one important thing: if you deleted Home page and want to get it back — just create a new page with name Home.

Got it! The trick was to delete the Home page, but it was impossible to do directly from github.

Here's a workaround: Go to wiki / Git Access and clone the wiki repository with the provided link. In the cloned repo just delete the file representing the Home page (in my case it was Home.md). Push the changes back.
