Building the Docs Locally

Prerequisites

Have Go v1.11.2+ installed and configured. You can find the relevant instructions for your platform of choice here: Go Getting Started
Clone this repository: https://github.com/concourse/docs

Compiling the Docs

You can compile the Concourse docs by running:

./scripts/build

The build script will instruct Booklit to compile all the files under lit/ as html files. The files will then be dumped into your current working directory, i.e. the root of this repo.

Viewing the docs in your browser

To run a server that will rebuild the docs as needed, pass -s (port) like so:

./scripts/build -s 8000

You will be now be able to see the rendered site if you navigate to http://localhost:8000.

Docs Styling

You can find all of the styling assets for the Concourse website and documentation under the css/ folder.

If you are planning to make changes to the site, css/booklit.css is usually a good place to start.

Content Layout

All of the website content can be found under the lit/ folder of this repository.

The content layout for the site is qute simple, and for the most part self-explanatory. If you want to change a specific page on the website you can usually jump straight to it by looking for the .lit version of the page. For example you can make changes to https://concourse-ci.org/fly.html by editing lit/fly.lit.

html/docs-header.tmpl L1 navigation header for the Concourse website and docs.
lit/index.html The Concourse Homepage
lit/reference/ This is where you'll find most of the documentation listed under https://concourse-ci.org/reference.html
lit/release-notes/ Release notes separated by Concourse version. These .lit snippets are ultimately loaded into lit/download.lit
lit/download.lit/ Concourse Downloads page
lit/docs/resource-types/community-resources.lit A listing of Concourse community-supported resources
