Syncthing Docs

This repo is the source behind https://docs.syncthing.net/.

Editing

To edit the documentation you need a GitHub account. Once you have created one and logged in, you can edit any page by navigating to the corresponding file and clicking the edit (pen) icon. This will create a so called "fork" and a "pull request", which will be approved by one of the existing documentation team members. Once you have made a contribution or two, you can be added to the documentation team and perform edits without requiring approval.

In the long run, learning to use Git and running Sphinx on your computer is beneficial.

First steps to run it locally:

git clone https://github.com/syncthing/docs.git
pip install -U Sphinx
cd docs
make html
# open _build/html/index.html

You can also use our Docker image to build the documentation, which is the same thing the build server does in the end:

./docker-build.sh html

Structure

The documentation is divided into an index page (index.rst) and various subsections. The sections are:

  • Introductory information in intro.
  • Information for users in users.
  • Information for developers in dev.

The documentation uses the rst format. For a starting point check out the reStructuredText Primer.
