Create your own Wiki or digital garden for creating knowledge base

Host a simple technical website using mkdocs-material for notes and documentation.

Simple yet salient featrues to note are :

• Toggle between light and dark mode
• Search bar
• Support for [[wikilinks]]

• Notes on AI is a personal wiki on AI and ML and deployed using Obsidian-publish.
• However, it is not free and requires a subscription to Obsidian Publish to host the wiki.
• This wiki is inspired by the above and is deployed using mkdocs-material and hosted on Github Pages for free (You can also host it on Netlify, DigitalOcean or GitLabs).
• Since, everyone loves VS Code, it made much more sense to use it rather than Obsidian.

1. Markdown files are easy to write and can be easily converted to html which can be hosted online.
2. Foam : VS Code extension for Obsidian like experience. Enables wikilinks, graph visualization and backlinks in VS Code.
3. mkdocs-material : Material for MkDocs is a theme for MkDocs, a static site generator geared towards (technical) project documentation. It is a python package which be installed via pip.

1. Change the mkdocs.yml file to add / remove any feature you want. It contains all the meta data of your site.
2. The ci.yml is used by github actions to deploy the site on github pages.
3. Make another branch named gh-pages.
4. Go to the repository. Then go to Settings -> Pages -> Branch. Set it to gh-pages.
5. Now, any changes you push to the main will automatically trigger deployment to github pages.
6. Now, just add your markdown files to the docs folder.
