description: Keep this site's content in a Git repository, committed per change and synchronized with a remote. Every page and file is an ordinary versioned file, so the wiki's history is also the repository's. Changes are committed and pushed by each sync, from any instance, so it needs no persistent or shared volume.

props:
  authType:
    type: String
    default: 'ssh'
    title: Authentication Type
    hint: Use SSH for maximum security.

    order: 1
  repoUrl:
    type: String
    title: Repository URI
    hint: Git-compliant URI (e.g. git@server.com:org/repo.git for SSH, https://server.com/org/repo.git for basic). Leave empty to keep a purely local repository, committed but never pushed - which lives on one instance's disk only, so needs a persistent volume and a single instance.
    icon: dns
    order: 2
  branch:
    type: String
    default: 'main'
    title: Branch
    hint: The branch to use during pull / push. The first push creates it on a remote that has no branches yet.
    icon: code-fork
    order: 3
  syncMode:
    type: String
    default: 'sync'
    title: Sync Direction
    hint: Sync pulls and then pushes. Push force-pushes the wiki's commits and never takes anything back, so the wiki always wins. Pull only takes changes in and never writes the wiki's own to the repository, which makes the remote the authority.

    title: SSH Private Key Mode
    hint: The mode to use to load the private key. Fill in the corresponding field below.

      - path|File Path

  sshPrivateKeyContent:
    type: String
    title: SSH Private Key Contents
    hint: Paste the contents of the private key. The key must NOT be passphrase-protected. It is written to a file readable only by the wiki's own user.

  verifySSL:
    type: Boolean
    default: true
    title: Verify SSL Certificate
    hint: Some hosts require SSL certificate checking to be disabled. Leave enabled for proper security.

  alwaysUseDefaultAuthor:
    type: Boolean
    default: false
    title: Always Commit as the Default Author
    hint: Attribute every commit to the default author below instead of to the user who made the change, so that no account name or email address reaches the repository. Turn this on if the remote is somewhere your users' identities should not be published.
    icon: data-protection
    order: 29
  defaultName:
    type: String
    title: Default Author Name
    default: 'Wiki.js'
    hint: The commit author when the change was not made by one person - a scheduled sync, or a folder rename that moved a hundred files - and every commit when the option above is on.
    icon: customer
    order: 30
  defaultEmail:
    type: String
    title: Default Author Email
    default: 'wiki@example.com'
    hint: The commit author email in the same cases as the name above.
    icon: email
    order: 31
  localRepoPath:
    type: String
    title: Local Repository Path
    default: './data/repo'
    hint: Where each instance keeps its working copy, which is a cache it rebuilds from the remote whenever it needs to. Give each site its own path unless you turn on Add Site ID Prefix under Configuration, since two sites sharing a repository would otherwise write over each other. Relative paths are resolved from the Wiki.js install directory.

    order: 32
    localPath: data
  gitBinaryPath:
    type: String
    title: Git Binary Path
    default: ''
    hint: Optional - Absolute path to the Git binary, when not available in PATH. Leave empty to use the default PATH location (recommended).

actions:
  sync:
    label: Force Sync
    hint: Run a sync straight away rather than waiting for the next scheduled one. The Sync Direction above is respected, and a pull applies what it brings in to the wiki.
    icon: synchronize
  syncUntracked:
    label: Add Untracked Changes
    hint: Write every page and file this target is configured to hold into the repository, commit whatever is missing and sync. Content created before Git was enabled - or while it was turned off - is untracked until this is run.
    icon: database-daily-export
  importAll:
    label: Import Everything
    hint: Take everything the repository held at the last sync into the wiki, whatever the last commit did. For picking up content from a remote repository that existed before Git was enabled here, which the first sync does not take in.
    warn: The repository wins every collision, except with changes the wiki has not published yet. A page it replaces keeps its previous version in its history, but a file has none - the bytes it replaces are gone from every storage target holding them.
    icon: database-daily-import
  purge:
    label: Purge Local Repository
    hint: Delete the working copy of the instance that answers this request. The next sync there takes it again from the remote, with the changes the wiki has queued on top, so nothing is lost. The remote is not touched and nothing is committed.
    warn: With no Repository URI configured, the working copy is the whole repository, and its history is deleted with it.
