Searching GitHub WIkis

Unfortunately, GitHub does not support searches in the wiki. It does, however, support cloning the wiki as a git repo! Add git grep and you've got a stew going.

GitHub wiki pages have a "Clone URL" button to copy the right URL

$ git clone https://github.com/me/my-project.wiki my-project-wiki
