Wiki to Git

==========================



Using `Wiki To Git` classes.

I recommend using cmd tools, but you can also use a Node script if you prefer.

## Creating your script

Your export script should use `wiki-to-git` to create a new git repo.

Most of the time you will only need to change the top configuration from the snippet below.

```js

import { LoadData } from 'wiki-to-git';

//

// Config.

// change this values to your needs

const site = 'en.wikipedia.org';

const page = 'MediaWiki:Gadget-exampleGadgetScript.js';

const repoName = 'wiki-exampleGadgetScript';

const filename = 'exampleGadgetScript.js';

const loader = new LoadData(site);

/**

 * Download page history from a MediaWiki site.

 */

console.log('\n\nDownload history for %s.', page);

// this will load

await loader.load(page);

// this will save history as JSON

await loader.saveHistory();

// this just shows a quick info (you can skip this)

loader.info();

// You only need to read JSON if you changed it.

// Use load (and saveHistory) xor readHistory.

/**

 * Read page history from JSON.

 *

loader.history = [];

await loader.readHistory();

loader.info();

/**

 * Create Git repo.

 */

console.log('\n\nCreating Git repo (%s).', repoName);

loader.repoCreate(repoName);

console.log('\nSave history as %s.', filename);

loader.repoCommit(repoName, filename);

```

That's it. Run this script in Node.js and you are done.
