docfx-action

A GitHub action to run DocFX and generate a documentation site.

Lovingly forked from @nikeee

Isaac Newton famously said, "If I have seen further, it is because I am standing on the shoulders of giants."

@nikeee gave us a huge leg up by publishing their repo. Our goal is to:

• Update this in the short-term to suit our needs (different version numbers, etc.)
• Make things a little more configurable (as we learn about GH Actions)
• Contribute it back upstream and close this out (assuming @nikeee is interested in the changes.)
