edit github wikis with emacs like confluence-mode?

I got used to using confluence-mode to be able to open wiki pages hosted on a confluence server using my emacs client locally:

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ConfluenceMode

Is there anything equivalent to be able to create/edit wiki pages from a github.com repository in a similar fashion?

The basics of what I usually do are:

  1. Setting up my URL:

    '(confluence-url "https://myconfluence.server.somewhere/rpc/xmlrpc")

  2. Create/Edit pages from emacs:

    M-x confluence-get-page

From then on, it's like any kind of buffer, but it creates/opens/saves files via xmlrpc.

Anything like that but for github.com wikis?

Considering a GitHub wiki is simply a git repo, you can clone it locally, modify it, make new commits and push back.
See "How do I clone a github wiki?".

With a package like magit, you can do all that from your Emacs (see magit documentation).
For instance, once the commits are done:

Typing P P will only push the current branch to the remote. In other words, it will run git push <remote> <branch>.
