Django Commons mkdocs

The Django Commons docs are deployed at django-commons.org.

The repository that hosts the docs is at https://github.com/django-commons/django-commons.github.io

Local Development

1. Create a Python 3.13 virtual environment (uv venv --python 3.13)
2. Run pip install mkdocs
3. Run mkdocs serve -f src/mkdocs.yml

With uv: uv run --python 3.13 --with mkdocs mkdocs serve -f src/mkdocs.yml

pre-commit

You don't have to use pre-commit. But if you choose to:

1. Install pre-commit

• Run pre-commit install

This will install pre-commit. Then, before you commit, run pre-commit run to run pre-commit and check your changed files for linting errors.

Deployment

The site is hosted using GitHub Pages which requires a separate repository.

If you have cloned both this repository and django-commons.github.io to the same parent directory as follows:

django-commons-mkdocs/
    src/
        mkdocs.yml
        docs/
django-commons.github.io/

To deploy, run the following command from the django-commons.github.io/ directory.

uv run --python 3.13 --with mkdocs mkdocs gh-deploy --config-file ../django-commons-mkdocs/src/mkdocs.yml --remote-branch main
