README.md

wp2git

This program allows you to download and convert any Wikipedia article's history to a git repository, for easy browsing and blaming.

Usage

$ wp2git.py [--bare] article_name

wp2git will create a directory, in which a new git repository will be created. The repository will contain a single file named article_name.mw, along with its entire edit history.

Run wp2git --help for more options.

Requirements

git should be accessible from PATH.

The mwclient package must be installed (use pip install mwclient).

Entirely based on

CyberShadow's version written in the D language.
