I want to modify and view github wikis with local editor like Emacs, and Google Code wikis can be checked out just like code. Is there any way to checkout github wikis? Or is there any other git repository provider offers such feature?

The Wiki pages are managed as a repository. So click on your repository, then on the left side click on Wiki. Finally on the upper right corner click on Clone Repository. There you will clear instructions on how to clone it correctly.
You can use a wiki to share detailed, long-form information about your project. Wikis are available in public repositories with GitHub Free and GitHub Free for organizations, and in public and private repositories with GitHub Pro, GitHub Team, GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Enterprise Server.
You can't fork it directly on GitHub, but you can get Git access to it by going into the Git access tab of the wiki and you should be able to fork it on your local machine and edit it as much as you want (and even get updates to it!)
Adding wiki pagesUnder your repository name, click Wiki. In the upper-right corner of the page, click New Page. Optionally, to write in a format other than Markdown, use the Edit mode drop-down menu, and click a different format. Use the text editor to add your page's content.
You can now!
git clone https://github.com/user/project.wiki.git or if you use ssh
git clone [email protected]:username/project.wiki.git You can't check out the wiki but you can set up a website that you can checkout and edit that gets regenerated on a push.
They call it GitHub Pages. Admittedly, not the same as a wiki though.
