Adding Images to the Wiki

Although you may not know it, the wiki is actually its very own git repository. Near the top of this page, you'll notice some tabs named "Home", "Pages", "Wiki History", and "Git Access". That last tab will give you ssh and git read-only urls so you can pull the wiki onto your local machine. Unfortunately, github won't let you easily fork the wiki into your own personal repo, or easily make pull requests. Since the wiki has the same access as the normal nbites repository, only a few people on the team can actually push changes to it.

Please Note: use png as the file type for images. They seem to be displayed the best.

Long story short, the easiest way (currently) to add images directly to the wiki without first hosting them somewhere else on the internet is this:

1. Choose your image files. Please, no spaces in the name.
2. Email the images to someone with push permissions to the nbites repo. (fall 2012: send them to Josh)
3. They will manually add the files to their local version of the wiki repo and push those changes back to github.
4. To use an image named foobar.png (with Markdown), add the following to the wiki page: ![alt text](foobar.png)
