Contributing to Documentation

ReadTheDocs

If you're looking to help document Cloudsplaining, your first step is to get set up with Mkdocs, our documentation tool. First you will want to make sure you have a few things on your local system:

  • python-dev (if you're on OS X, you already have this)
  • pip

Once you've got all that, the rest is simple:

# If you have a fork, you'll want to clone it instead
git clone git@github.com:salesforce/cloudsplaining.git

# Set up the virtual environment
python3 -m venv ./venv && source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install -r requirements-dev.txt

# Create the HTML files
make build-docs
make serve-docs

# The above will open the built documentation in your browser
