Clean Way to Download `.md` File From Github's Wiki Page

Github's Wiki page shows contents with markdown-emulated page (e.g. https://github.com/github/gollum/wiki ), not the plain text of the .md file.

Where does Github provide us with the source of the .md file on its Wiki page?

Simple clone the wiki of that project:

 git clone https://github.com/github/gollum.wiki.git

You will get .md files there.

C:\Users\VonC\prog\git\gollum.wiki>dir

See "Can I checkout github wikis like a git repository?".
