This repo contains the source code of the k6 documentation.
For small changes and spelling fixes, we recommend using the GitHub UI because the markdown files are relatively easy to edit.
For larger contributions, consider running the project locally to see how the changes look like before making a pull request.
Markdown files for the documentation are located in src/data/markdown/docs folder. The URL structure is generated based on the folder structure and file names.
The markdown files support a few custom extensions explained on the File Format Guide.
This uses docker-compose and port 8100.
git clone [email protected]:grafana/k6-docs.git
cd k6-docs
cp .env.example .env.development
docker-compose up -d --buildNote that starting up the Docker takes several minutes, during which the
website will not be accessible. Use docker-compose logs -f web to track
progress.
Then visit http://localhost:8100
If you want to re-run the
--buildcommand, you may get an error about not having access to delete acache/folder. Usesudoto delete this manually before retrying.

All pull requests merged to master will result in an automatic deployment to the staging environment.
Versions follow the same major and minor as github.com/grafana/k6. When cutting a new release of the docs between k6 releases, only increment the patch digit(s).
All tags created using the format vN.N.N, for instance, v0.0.1, will result in an automatic deployment to the production environment. Tags can either be created and pushed from the git cli, or from https://github.com/grafana/k6-docs/releases
