Github saver help

[Michele Mauro]

Hi everyone.

Please excuse me for the newbie question; if I missed something, I'll gladly accept links to documentation.

I was trying the new GitHub saver, and it does work all ok (improvement suggestion: less tecnical error messages). I was able to save without problems with a personal access token.

However, I haven't figured out how do I read a saved wiki: the commited file seems a base64 blob that doesn't work if downloaded; meanwhile, the local file has not be saved (even with TImini installed).

How is the GitHub saver intendend to be used?

• should I expect the wiki to be saved both locally and remotely? (what happens if I lose the local file?)
• should some other service be used, like GitHub Pages, to read the wiki in the browser? (what's the equivalent setup in GitLab?)
• should the empty wiki be on the remote repository first, and then opened in some way?

Thank you in advance,

Michele
