# Welcome to DEV's developer documentation
|
|
|
|
On this site you'll find instructions to setup a [local instance of
|
|
DEV][installation], documentation on the [architecture of DEV][architecture],
|
|
[how to contribute][contributing], and many other useful documents.
|
|
|
|
This documentation site is the product of a number of volunteer contributors
|
|
working alongside the DEV Core Team, special thanks to all those who have
|
|
contributed to the documentation.
|
|
|
|
# Running the documentation locally
|
|
|
|
Like DEV, this site is open source and the code is [hosted on GitHub][docs]. If
|
|
you find any incorrect information, or a even a typo, we'd love to see a pull
|
|
request. Follow these steps to get the documentation site running locally.
|
|
|
|
DEV's documentation is built with [GitDocs NodeJS library][gitdocs].
|
|
|
|
The first step to running the documentations locally is to install the `GitDocs`
|
|
package globally.
|
|
|
|
With npm:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
npm install gitdocs -g
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use Yarn:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
yarn global add gitdocs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once installed, you should run `gitdocs serve` from the root of the dev.to
|
|
project or from the `/docs` directory.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
gitdocs serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will start a server where you can browse the documentation:
|
|
<http://localhost:8000/>
|
|
|
|
If you add new pages or rename existing pages, you'll need to restart the server
|
|
for those changes to take effect.
|
|
|
|
