# just-the-docs-template
2+
3+
This is a *bare-minimum* template to create a [Jekyll] site that:
4+
5+
- uses the [Just the Docs] theme;
6+
- can be built and published on [GitHub Pages];
7+
- can be built and previewed locally, and published on other platforms.
8+
9+
More specifically, the created site:
10+
11+
- uses a gem-based approach, i.e. uses a `Gemfile` and loads the `just-the-docs` gem;
12+
- uses the [GitHub Pages / Actions workflow] to build and publish the site on GitHub Pages.
13+
14+
To get started with creating a site, simply:
15+
16+
1. click "[use this template]" to create a GitHub repository
17+
2. go to Settings > Pages > Build and deployment > Source, and select GitHub Actions
18+
19+
If you want to maintain your docs in the `docs` directory of an existing project repo, see [Hosting your docs from an existing project repo](#hosting-your-docs-from-an-existing-project-repo).
20+
21+
After completing the creation of your new site on GitHub, update it as needed:
22+
23+
## Replace the content of the template pages
24+
25+
Update the following files to your own content:
26+
27+
- `index.md` (your new home page)
28+
- `README.md` (information for those who access your site repo on GitHub)
29+
30+
## Changing the version of the theme and/or Jekyll
31+
32+
Simply edit the relevant line(s) in the `Gemfile`.
33+
34+
## Adding a plugin
35+
36+
The Just the Docs theme automatically includes the [`jekyll-seo-tag`] plugin.
37+
38+
To add an extra plugin, you need to add it in the `Gemfile` *and* in `_config.yml`. For example, to add [`jekyll-default-layout`]:
39+
40+
- Add the following to your site's `Gemfile`:
41+
42+
```ruby
43+
gem "jekyll-default-layout"
44+
```
45+
46+
- And add the following to your site's `_config.yml`:
47+
48+
```yaml
49+
plugins:
50+
- jekyll-default-layout
51+
```
52+
53+
Note: If you are using a Jekyll version less than 3.5.0, use the `gems` key instead of `plugins`.
54+
55+
## Publishing your site on GitHub Pages
56+
57+
1. If your created site is `YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-SITE-NAME`, update `_config.yml` to:
58+
59+
```yaml
60+
title: YOUR TITLE
61+
description: YOUR DESCRIPTION
62+
theme: just-the-docs
63+
64+
url: https://YOUR-USERNAME.github.io/YOUR-SITE-NAME
65+
66+
aux_links: # remove if you don't want this link to appear on your pages
67+
Template Repository: https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-SITE-NAME
68+
```
69+
70+
2. Push your updated `_config.yml` to your site on GitHub.
71+
72+
3. In your newly created repo on GitHub:
73+
- go to the `Settings` tab -> `Pages` -> `Build and deployment`, then select `Source`: `GitHub Actions`.
74+
- if there were any failed Actions, go to the `Actions` tab and click on `Re-run jobs`.
75+
76+
## Building and previewing your site locally
77+
78+
Assuming [Jekyll] and [Bundler] are installed on your computer:
79+
80+
1. Change your working directory to the root directory of your site.
81+
82+
2. Run `bundle install`.
83+
84+
3. Run `bundle exec jekyll serve` to build your site and preview it at `localhost:4000`.
85+
86+
The built site is stored in the directory `_site`.
87+
88+
## Publishing your built site on a different platform
89+
90+
Just upload all the files in the directory `_site`.
91+
92+
## Customization
93+
94+
You're free to customize sites that you create with this template, however you like!
95+
96+
[Browse our documentation][Just the Docs] to learn more about how to use this theme.
97+
98+
## Hosting your docs from an existing project repo
99+
100+
You might want to maintain your docs in an existing project repo. Instead of creating a new repo using the [just-the-docs template](https://github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs-template), you can copy the template files into your existing repo and configure the template's Github Actions workflow to build from a `docs` directory. You can clone the template to your local machine or download the `.zip` file to access the files.
101+
102+
### Copy the template files
103+
104+
1. Create a `.github/workflows` directory at your project root if your repo doesn't already have one. Copy the `pages.yml` file into this directory. GitHub Actions searches this directory for workflow files.
105+
106+
2. Create a `docs` directory at your project root and copy all remaining template files into this directory.
107+
108+
### Modify the GitHub Actions workflow
109+
110+
The GitHub Actions workflow that builds and deploys your site to Github Pages is defined by the `pages.yml` file. You'll need to edit this file to that so that your build and deploy steps look to your `docs` directory, rather than the project root.
111+
112+
1. Set the default `working-directory` param for the build job.
113+
114+
```yaml
115+
build:
116+
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
117+
defaults:
118+
run:
119+
working-directory: docs
120+
```
121+
122+
2. Set the `working-directory` param for the Setup Ruby step.
123+
124+
```yaml
125+
- name: Setup Ruby
126+
uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1
127+
with:
128+
ruby-version: '3.1'
129+
bundler-cache: true
130+
cache-version: 0
131+
working-directory: '${{ github.workspace }}/docs'
132+
```
133+
134+
3. Set the path param for the Upload artifact step:
135+
136+
```yaml
137+
- name: Upload artifact
138+
uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v1
139+
with:
140+
path: "docs/_site/"
141+
```
142+
143+
4. Modify the trigger so that only changes within the `docs` directory start the workflow. Otherwise, every change to your project (even those that don't affect the docs) would trigger a new site build and deploy.
144+
145+
```yaml
146+
on:
147+
push:
148+
branches:
149+
- "main"
150+
paths:
151+
- "docs/**"
152+
```
153+
