Need help: Forward each repo’s wiki tab to https://thealgorithms.github.io

[cclauss]

Can https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/C-Plus-Plus/wiki point to https://thealgorithms.github.io ?

TheAlgorithms/C-Plus-Plus#730 (comment) is has a GitHub Action that generates html. It would be cool if we could have that appear at https://thealgorithms.github.io or https://thealgorithms.github.io/C-Plus-Plus

Hi @cclauss really happy to talk to you after a long time
would you please explain this more like you need a separate page for each algorithm to navigate
And also I want to share that this is a nice idea for the repo. we can create it for large amount of algorithms and for different methodologies.
What do you say???

For VerbalExpressions, we have VerbalExpressions/verbalExpressions.github.io and we have a docs folder on master in VerbalExpressions/JSVerbalExpressions. GH Pages definitely has support for this sort of thing, because our docs show up at https://verbalexpressions.github.io/JSVerbalExpressions.

I don't have access to the repo's settings, but I assume you just have to configure Settings, Options, GitHub Pages, Source. It doesn't give very many options afaik—it's got to be either master, docs/ on master, or the gh-pages branch (no subfolder).

@viragumathe5 We already have autogenerated markdown directories for all the algorithms in Python, C++ so we do not need to replicate that level of functionality. However, @Albirair did a really cool thing in TheAlgorithms/C-Plus-Plus#730 by autogenerating HTML docs with Doxygen for that algorithm. I was just interested to (experimentally) see if we could use GitHub Pages to display such HTML content. Doxygen, pydoc, sphinx, javadoc, etc. an autogenerate HTML, markdown, etc.

@shreyasminocha https://thealgorithms.github.io shows that I did configure things enough to display the most basic hello world. It would be great if you could submit some PRs that would help us to get closer to the level that you have on VerbalExpressions.

TheAlgorithms/C-Plus-Plus@57ea7b1 looks like it should do the right thing—bring all website files to the top level of gh-pages, but it doesn't seem to…

We now have an index.html but that is not what the wiki tab displays.

Pages in the wiki must be added manually edited with markdown as far as I know, but I will make sure to check.

Yeah, the best you can do is:

• Add a link to the website in the wiki
• Disable the wiki altogether

Can you autoforward? If not then a manual link will be the compromise position.
