JINGO is an Open-source Git-based CMS and Wiki engine

What is JINGO?

JINGO is a git based wiki engine and CMS written for Node.js, with a decent design, a search capability and a good typography.

In this post, we will reveal Jingo's amazing features and how can you install it on your system.

Features

• No database: Jingo uses a git repository as the document archive
• Markdown for everything, GitHub flavored
• Jingo uses Codemirror or Markitup as the markup editor, with a nice (ajax) preview (see the features key in the config file)
• It provides a "distraction free", almost full screen editing mode
• Comes with a built-in full-text search and indexing options
• Compatible with a wiki created with the Gollum wiki
• Revision history for all the pages (with restore)
• Straightforward customization options
• Show differences between document revisions
• Paginated list of all the pages, with a quick way to find changes between revisions
• Search through the content and the page names
• Page layout accepts custom sidebar and footer
• Gravatar support
• Can include IFRAMEs in the document (ex: embed a Google Drive document)
• Generate Table of Contents for pages
• Can use custom CSS and JavaScript scripts
• White list for authorization on page reading and writing
• Detects unwritten pages (which will appear in red)
• Automatically push to a remote (optionally)
• Mobile friendly (based on Bootstrap 3.x)
• Quite configurable, but also works out of the box
• Works well behind a proxy (i.e.: the wiki can be "mounted" as a directory in another website)
• Pages can be embedded into another site
• Authentication via Google, GitHub, LDAP and local name/password
• Code-friendly: comes with a rich syntax highlighter that supports dozens of languages
• Supports Google and GitHub logins
