This repository provides the source code and content for Kong's documentation website. It is a Jekyll website deployed with Netlify.

Not sure where to start? Head on over to the issues tab to and look for the good first issue label. These are issues Kong has identified as beginner friendly. Many of these can be addressed with the GitHub UI and do not require pulling the repository and building locally.

First-time contributors, check out our contributing guide on the website, and the linked resources there.

Generate the PDK, Admin API, CLI, and Configuration documentation

The PDK docs, Admin API docs, cli.md and configuration.md for each release are generated from the Kong source code.

To generate them, go to the Kong/kong repo and run:

scripts/autodoc <docs-folder> <kong-version>

For example:

cd /path/to/kong
scripts/autodoc ../docs.konghq.com 2.4.x

This example assumes that the Kong/docs.konghq.com repo is cloned into the same directory as the Kong/kong repo, and that you want to generate the docs for version 2.4.x. Adjust the paths and version as needed.

After everything is generated, review, open a branch with the changes, send a pull request, and review the changes.

You usually want to open a PR against a release/* branch. For example, in the example above the branch was release/2.4.

cd docs.konghq.com
git fetch --all
git checkout release/2.4
git checkout -b release/2.4-autodocos
git add -A .
git commit -m "docs(2.4.x) add autodocs"
git push

Then open a pull request against release/2.4.
