Synchronization to GitHub transfers old, no longer existing statuses of pages

[Profi-Net]

Hello everyone,

I have synchronized the data of my wiki instance to a GitHub repository to back it up.

Then I adjusted the numbering of all my page titles and page paths. After another synchronization to the GitHub repository, all pages existed there twice. Once under the old title and once under the new title.
This is logical and I understand why this happened. But now the twist that makes me wonder:

I created a new, empty GitHub repository and then synchronized my wiki pages to it again. Surprisingly, all pages were transferred twice again, once with the old numbering and once with the new numbering. So I have about 100 pages in the repository, although there are only about 50 in my wiki instance.

I have tried the following solutions:

• created several new GitHub repositories
• created several new personal access tokens
• Executed the “Purge Local Repository” button several times
• Executed the “Add Untracked Changes” button several times
• Synchronized several times
• Changed the path of the local repository.

After many different attempts to solve the problem, it still occurs. Wiki.js apparently saves old statuses from pages somewhere in between.

How can I fix this problem?

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi, it's me again! :)

I did some more research into how the problem I described could have arisen. But that only confused me even more:

I have a Docker installation of Wiki.js. All pages are only stored once in the database (as they should be):

In my wiki, all pages are also only present once, and there is nothing in the bin:

I looked at the data in the local Git repository via SSH. Here, all pages appear twice (with old and new page paths). This is also the case after I ran ‘Purge Local Repository’ (as described in the first message) several times. I also flushed the ‘Pages and Assets Cache’.

I then tried to clean up the local repository myself so that all pages are only available in the current version:

Full of hope, I performed another synchronisation to a completely new and empty GitHub repository. To my surprise, all pages were transferred twice again (old and new page path).

I'm really desperate. How is this possible? Does wiki.js store the pages somewhere else in between? I just can't explain this behaviour.

If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful!
