Content

All content lives in the /content & /data folders utilizing GitHub Flavored Markdown and YAML. Content is organized into the above mentioned categories through subfolders. Those subfolder names, along with the file name, define the final url of a given piece of content.

The final navigational organisation of the content is driven through the sidebar files under /data/sidebars.

Have a look at docs.oceanprotocol.com/test/ to see what content elements can be used in the docs.

Sections

The documentation is split in multiple sections whose content lives in this repo:

• Core concepts: high-level explanation of concepts, assumptions, and components
• Setup: getting started for various stakeholders and use cases
• Tutorials: detailed tutorials

Those sections and their copy are defined in the /data/sections.yml file.

TODO: Additionally, these docs live in their respective repos and are pulled into this site on build time:

• API reference
• Component docs

Editing docs

Every article on docs.oceanprotocol.com ends with an Edit this page on GitHub link. Clicking that will put you to the right place in the repository from where you can hit the Edit pencil icon.

GitHub will automatically fork the repository if you are not part of the oceanprotocol organisation on GitHub. Members can simply push to a new branch on the original repo.

The editing workflow is as follows:

1. Make your changes
2. Push your changes to a new branch in the repo, or in your fork
3. Open a pull request against master, automatically asking for review
4. Wait for review, possibly make request changes
5. Wait for all checks to pass
6. Merge!
