This is the public repository for CircleCI Docs, a static website generated by Jekyll. If you find any errors in our docs or have suggestions, please follow our Contributing Guide to submit an issue or pull request.
For minor changes like typos, you can click Suggest an edit to this page, located at the bottom of each article. This will take you to the source file on GitHub, where you can submit a pull request for your change through the UI.
For larger edits or new articles, you'll want to set up a local environment for editing. Please see our Local Development document to set that up.
If you have a question or need help debugging, please head to CircleCI Discuss where our support team will help you out.
This repository houses and manages several arms of documentation for CircleCI. This section will provide a brief overview of each "component" and how to get started with making changes.
This is the main CircleCI documentation site.
This is built with Jekyll and houses the majority of our documentation. Other
branches of documentation (src-api, src-crg, etc) eventually get moved into
this folder (in our build process) and integrated into the Jekyll Site. Follow
the local development guide to get started with
building the Jekyll site.
Our API documentation source can be found in this folder.
API v1 is written by hand, and compiled to work with
Slate. The compilation and deployment of
v1 is handled by our .circleci/config.yml, which calls our build_api_docs
script. If you need to make changes to our V1 documentation, go to
src-api/source/includes and make changes as needed in the markdown files.
API v2 is compiled from an OpenAPI
spec. We use
Redoc to compile our spec into a webpage. To
see the compilation process, refer to build_api_docs.sh and our
.circleci/config.yml. If you need to make changes to the output site, you will
likely need to make source code changes to the API, where the docs are generated
from.
This is the build folder we use for automatically generating documentation for the CircleCI API v2. This uses Slate and Widdershins to create documentation with a spec (that follows the Open API Spec) generated from the CircleCI code base.
The configuration builder is a
small React application that providers users with a basic configuration builder
that they can access through our documentation. When it is deployed, the
compiled site is moved into /jekyll.
This is documentation for the 2.1 configuration keys, built with Slate and compiled and moved into the Jekyll site.
Some JavaScript files that make use of Webpack and bundles a Javascript file that eventually gets loaded into Jekyll. Our JavaScript files are splintered between Jekyll's assets folder and here. We should be navigating toward one solution that will eventually aggregate all JS source code in one place.
This is a git sub-module for shared content with the main CircleCI
website. The js folder within is symlinked into
Jekyll's assets folder for JavaScript. Eventually, the JS here could/should be
integrated with a better JS bundle solution per above. Please see the local
development guide for more information about
pulling in the updates for the sub-module.
Docs for CircleCI Server Administration are built in a slightly different way; please refer to the server build documentation
