So that we get auto-formatting and syntax checking in our code editor. The only snippets which have not been extracted are either terminal output, or file fragments (e.g. CUE) which are not valid standalone files.

FAQ
The intent behind this README is to answer contributor questions regarding docs.dagger.io.
What happens to a new doc page after the PR gets merged?
It gets automatically deployed to docs.dagger.io.
The doc URL will use the slug
property from the doc markdown metadata.
Given slug: /1001/install/
, the live URL will be docs.dagger.io/1001/install
How can I run docs locally?
You will need to have yarn
and Node.js v16 installed.
From the top-level dir - cd ../
- run the following command: make web
This will install all dependencies, start the docs web server locally and open localhost:3000 in your browser.
How can I add a new doc page?
From the docs
dir, run ./new.sh doc-title
This will create a new Markdown file for the new doc page, i.e. docs/1214-doc-title.md
This new doc will not be added to the navigation. We prefer to keep the organisation of doc pages, and writing them separate. For the time being - 2022 Q1 - the focus is on writing self-contained doc content. Don't worry about where to fit this content, it's enough to keep this in mind: Writing effective documentation.
What else should I keep in mind as I add new doc pages?

- "I would propose starting off with common use case and get a feedback loop possible where customers get to somewhat steer the topics they want next. Maybe via a vote system to prioritise . The community leads it all." Frankie Onuonga via Twitter, Nov. 2021
