This repo is the source behind https://docs.syncthing.net/.
To edit the documentation you need a GitHub account. Once you have created one and logged in, you can edit any page by navigating to the corresponding file and clicking the edit (pen) icon. This will create a so called "fork" and a "pull request", which will be approved by one of the existing documentation team members. Once you have made a contribution or two, you can be added to the documentation team and perform edits without requiring approval.
In the l 682D ong run, learning to use Git and running Sphinx on your computer is beneficial.
First steps to run it locally:
git clone https://github.com/syncthing/docs.git pip install -U Sphinx cd docs make html # open _build/html/index.html
You can also use our Docker image to build the documentation, which is the same thing the build server does in the end:
./docker-build.sh html
The documentation is divided into an index page (index.rst) and various
subsections. The sections are:
- Introductory information in
intro. - Information for users in
users. - Information for developers in
dev.
The documentation uses the rst format. For a starting point check out the reStructuredText Primer.
