Forgejo Documentation
This is the documentation for Forgejo and is published on the Forgejo website.
The main development branch of this repo is the
next
branch,
which documents the version of Forgejo that is currently being developed.
Each time a new major version of Forgejo is released, a new branch will be created in this repo to document the stable release.
Current release branches are as follows:
Documentation content lives in the docs
directory, and images in the docs/_images
subdirectory.
Contributing
Tooling
It is possible to simply edit the documentation with a text editor and send PRs without using any other tooling. Lints will be run when PRs are sent to ensure that content and code comply with our stylistic rules.
However, several tools are available to run locally to help ensure that content is formatted appropriately before committing, as well as to preview your changes on a local copy of the Forgejo website.
Getting set up
To run the tools used in this repo you will need NodeJS on your machine. The required version will change over time, but in general it is recommended to use at least the latest LTR release.
You'll also need PNPM. The easiest way to install it on most systems is to use the
command corepack enable
, which is part of NodeJS. However depending on your system you may prefer to use a package manager.
Once you have Node and PNPM installed, just run pnpm install
from the root of this repo to fetch the dependencies
and set up the Git pre-commit hook.
# Install/enable PNPM
corepack enable
# Clone this repo (or your fork of it)
git clone git@codeberg.org:forgejo/docs
cd docs
# Install the dependencies
pnpm install
Every time you pull
the repo or checkout
a different branch, you should run pnpm install
again to update the dependencies.
Previewing changes
pnpm run preview
This command will clone the website repo and launch a local development server. The current docs branch will be opened in the browser.
Modifications can be made to the docs while the dev server is running, and the preview will live-reload.
Linting and formatting
We use two linters to check that all content is formatted in a consistent way. Most of the rules are checked using remark-lint, whilst some stylistic consistency is enforced using Prettier.
To run both linters and display any warnings in the terminal, use the following command:
pnpm run lint
Prettier is also able to automatically format the code according to its rules. To do so, ue the following command. Be aware that it can occasionally break things, so be sure to check what it changes.
pnpm run format:prettier
There is currently no way to automatically format the code to according to the rules configured for remark-lint
,
however the pre-commit hook should prevent badly-formatted content from being committed.
Pre-commit hook
Both of the above linting and formatting commands are run automatically on commit
using a Git pre-commit
hook which is set up when running pnpm install
.
This attempts to prevent badly-formatted content from being committed.
In the event that the pre-commit hook is skipped or fails to run, badly-formatted content will also be caught by the CI, preventing the PR from being merged.
Pull Requests
PRs should usually be sent against the next
branch.
Sometimes it will be appropriate to send a PR against a specific release branch if the changes only affect that release.
Most changes should either be sent as a single commit per PR, or should be squashed before merging. Fast-forwarding is the preferred merge strategy. Changes can then be backported (or if appropriate frontported) by cherry-picking.
Rarely, it will make sense to create a feature branch containting a series of commits that will be merged instead of squashing and fast-forwarding. Such a feature branch can then be merged into multiple versions of the docs if appropriate. In this case, the feature branch should usually be taken from the last common ancestor of all of the version branches into which it will potentially be merged.
If you have commit access to this repository, you should work on a temporary branch within this repository
with the pr/
prefix and submit your pull request from there. Use the following commands to do it.
git clone git@codeberg.org:forgejo/docs ; cd docs
git checkout <target-branch>
git checkout -b pr/<short-pr-desc>
# Make the changes you want to submit
git add . ; git commit
git push -u origin pr/<short-pr-desc>
# Proceed to open your pull request
This is currently necessary due to technical limitations with Forgejo Actions. If you do not have commit access, you may fork this repository and send a pull request the usual way, but a live preview of the website will not be available.
Backports
If a PR is meant to be backported to a stable branch, it must be
labelled with backport/v1.20
, backport/v1.19
, etc.
