Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

gh-repo-clone will clone repos, but not the wiki repo associated with it. For example, if this repo had a wiki, then gh repo clone cli/cli works, and git clone https://github.com/cli/cli.wiki.git works, but gh repo clone cli/cli.wiki will give the error GraphQL error: Could not resolve to a Repository with the name 'cli/cli.wiki'.

Proposed solution

Add the ability for Github CLI and/or GraphQL to find the wiki repositories.

Additional context

Add any other context like screenshots or mockups are helpful, if applicable.

@colematt Thank you for pointing this out! I agree that gh repo clone cli/cli.wiki should ideally work, but we haven't covered this case yet.

To someone who would want to work on this: the way to approach this would be to detect and strip the .wiki suffix from the repo name, allow the repo existence check to proceed as normal, additionally check if the wiki is enabled for the repo, and finally generate the clone URL as https://github.com/cli/cli.wiki.git.
