> A curated list of awesome GitHub Wikis



Every repository on [GitHub.com](https://github.com/) comes equipped with a section for hosting documentation, called a [Wiki](https://docs.github.com/en/communities/documenting-your-project-with-wikis/about-wikis). Repository's Wiki shares long-form content about project, such as how to use it, how you designed it, or its core principles. A README file quickly tells what project can do, while use a Wiki to provide additional documentation.
