Mycorrhiza Wiki is a lightweight wiki engine that stores content as plain files and keeps history in Git. It is implemented in Go and uses a custom markup language called Mycomarkup, targeting personal wikis, digital gardens and small-team knowledge bases.

Key Features

  • Filesystem-backed content (no database) with Git-based history and web feeds (RSS/Atom/JSON).
  • Content model built around "hyphae": modular content units that can transclude and link each other.
  • Mycomarkup as the primary, unambiguous markup format for authoring.
  • Keyboard-driven navigation and shortcuts for power users.
  • Optional authorization (username/password and Telegram login widget) and Open Graph meta support.
  • Interwiki support and simple deployment: a one-liner initializes a Git repo, prepopulates config and runs a server (default :1737); repository contains Dockerfile and build artifacts.

Use Cases

  • Personal knowledge base, digital garden or commonplace book for individuals.
  • Documentation or lightweight wiki for small teams and communities.
  • Public or private instances where Git-based history and file-editability are desired.

Limitations and Considerations

  • Uses a custom markup (Mycomarkup) rather than CommonMark/Markdown; this may require learning different syntax.
  • Reliant on Git for history and workflows, which assumes users or administrators are comfortable with Git operations.

Mycorrhiza is a focused, minimal wiki engine that emphasizes plain-file content, Git provenance and a connective "hyphae" model for building hypermedia documents. It is well-suited where simple deployment, file-editability and Git history are priorities.
