#The Bonsai Platform Documentation

This project is the public home for the source code for the Bonsai Platform documentation. You can find our documentation at http://docs.bons.ai/.

Our hope is that open-sourcing our documentation on GitHub helps our docs stay a living, breathing, constantly evolving project that users feel empowered to contribute to. If any documentation is unclear/missing we invite you to submit an issue or a pull request. But if you’d just rather give us feedback directly, send us an email.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this source code stufff? Where can I see the actual documentation?

If You Want to Contribute

Prerequisites

You're going to need:

  • Linux or OS X — Windows may work, but is unsupported.
  • Ruby, version 2.2.5 or newer
  • Bundler — If Ruby is already installed, but the bundle command doesn't work, just run gem install bundler in a terminal.

Getting Set Up

  1. Fork this repository on Github.
  2. Clone your forked repository (not our original one) to your hard drive with git clone https://github.com/YOURUSERNAME/slate.git
  3. cd slate
  4. Initialize and start Slate. You can either do this locally, or with Vagrant:
# either run this to run locally
bundle install
bundle exec middleman server

# OR run this to run with vagrant
vagrant up

You can now see the docs at http://localhost:4567. Whoa! That was fast!

Now that Slate is all set up on your machine, you'll probably want to learn more about editing Slate markdown, or how to publish your docs.

If you'd prefer to use Docker, instructions are available in the wiki.

Need Help? Found a bug?

Submit an issue to the Bonsai documentation repo if you need any help. And, of course, feel free to submit pull requests with bug fixes or changes if that's more your style.
