Group wikis
If you use GitLab groups to manage multiple projects, some of your documentation might span multiple groups. You can create group wikis, instead of project wikis, to ensure all group members have the correct access permissions to contribute. Group wikis are similar to project wikis, with a few limitations:
- Git LFS is not supported.
- Changes to group wikis don’t show up in the group’s activity feed.
For updates, follow .
Similar to project wikis, group members with at least the Developer role
can edit group wikis. Group wiki repositories can be moved using the
Group repository storage moves API.
To access a group wiki:
Users with the Owner role in a group can
import or export a group wiki when they
import or export a group.
Content created in a group wiki is not deleted when an account is downgraded or a
GitLab trial ends. The group wiki data is exported whenever the group owner of
the wiki is exported.
To access the group wiki data from the export file if the feature is no longer
available, you have to:
All files in the wiki are available in this Git repository.
Wikis are enabled by default in GitLab. Group administrators
can enable or disable a group wiki through the group settings.
To open group settings:
