What is GitHub Wikis?
A GitHub wiki is a separate space attached to a repository for writing longer-form documentation, tutorials, or notes that don't belong in the main README. Wikis support Markdown and have their own version history, similar to the main repository. They're often used for detailed guides, FAQs, or design documents that would otherwise clutter the codebase.
