Can I redirect a wiki page to Gmail (GitHub wiki)?

In RailsConf 2012, our local Ruby group created a publication with a crowd of sources . We are very pleased with how well it was received (218 observers to date).

Some participants are attending Goruco 2012, and we would like to do something similar for this conference. The current plan is to have one large wiki version of the wiki at Ruby conferences. We have content for the last couple of years (RubyConf 2011, RailsConf 2011, 2012, and now Goruco 2012), so we would like to combine it in one place. The Wiki RailsConf 2012 wiki received the most observers, and we would like to keep them. The easiest way would seem to rename the repository as follows:

Then the Home page will have a list of conferences by year.

But since it has become a community resource, we don’t want to break any links from blogs, Twitter, etc. What is the easiest way to do this? Does Gollum support any kind of redirection? (Or do we need to come up with a creative solution?)

Since no one came out of the tree, here is what I am going to do:

  • Clone an existing wiki
  • Run script
for f in *.md; do cat <<EOF > $f We've Moved! ------------ The RailsConf 2012 wiki is now [a general Ruby conference wiki](https://github.com/newhavenrb/conferences/wiki). Please find this page in its new home: https://github.com/newhavenrb/conferences/wiki/$(basename $f .md) EOF done

This will make Markdown like this:

We have moved!

The RailsConf 2012 wiki is now a shared Ruby wiki page .

Please find this page in your new home: https://github.com/newhavenrb/conferences/wiki/Rich-Hickey-Keynote

  • Commit the changes (except for Home.md , README.md , _Footer.md , _Sidebar.md ; they will be erroneous)
  • Rename an existing wiki to conferences
  • Make a new repo named railsconf2012
  • Click "We've Moved!" contents to new railsconf2012 repo
