Is there a way to backup a Confluence wiki into version control (GitHub)?

[Peter Snider]

I'm investigating using Confluence as our company wiki.

I've used it in the past and have liked it. My company requires that all wiki content be saved to GitHub.

Is there a way to do this using Confluence? I looked at the add-ons and the marketplace, but couldn't find this.

There appears to be no way to do what I need.

I'm looking for a hosted solution, so there would have to be an API to get chang sets and updated pages.

I couldn't find either API.

I don't think such a thing exists to do exactly that but, you can piece your own solution together. I found the Confluence autoexport plugin in the marketplace. You could use this plugin to export to file on change and then have a git client sync the exported files to a repo if you need to upload this instantly.

If your site wasn't to large you could also use rest or xml-rpc to cause an export of a space to xml, or html (would include attachments) and then sync with git. This would be more of a batch bachup.

Hello there,

I'm not sure about it, but, you can perform the backup through WebDAV integrated with GitHub.

Hope it point some light for you.

All the best,
