This repo contains the Ruby gem that distributes the Tech Docs Template. The Tech Docs Template is a middleman template that you can use to build technical documentation using a DSS style. This repository will age quickly as there is no attempt to keep this in sync with the published GEM. This repository was created on 25th April 2019.
