Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to show changes for my project wiki repo.
I have a channel in Slack showing code repo changes (which works wonderfully -- thank you!), but does not show edits to the project's wiki.

This is important to me from these experiences:

  • Using a GitHub project to write/manage a tech book heavy on code examples (code repo = examples; wiki repo = book writing) -- https://github.com/binkley/modern-java-practices.wiki
  • Last year with a global top 10 company where documentation across multiple teams and repos was a key deliverable in addition to the successfully delivered code

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd appreciate either of these:

  • Subscribing to a project repo also shows changes from the corresponding wiki repo (ie, /github subscribe org-name/cool-project also shows changes from org-name/cool-project.wiki)
  • I can separately subscribe to the wiki repo of a project (ie, /github subscribe org-name/cool-project.wiki) just like how I can clone the wiki repo separately from the code repo

Describe alternatives you've considered
We communicate wiki changes verbally in Slack or during daily calls, and review commit logs to the wiki repo locally when a git push fails because it needs a git pull first.
One can use GitHub's web UI for editing wiki pages, however we usually edit locally in the wiki repo clone so that we can use tools like IDE colorizing/formatting while working on Markdown files, and then commit/push our local changes upstream. (Both IDEA and VSCode have good support for GitHub-flavored markdown.)
