This repository is for both the site, and content, of Bolt, and should be considered a counterpart of the Bolt repository.

The documentation uses the Markdown format.

There is no need to build anything to generate HTML. We parse the markdown with PHP.

Working on this repository is advised with git version 2.5 or later.

The repository uses branches to group documentation relevant to each version in the format of release/<version>.

Changes should be PR-ed against the lowest relevant version and will then be merged down into higher version branches as required.

e.g. if you're fixing a typo that exists in the same Markdown file in both version 3.0 as well as in 3.1, you would checkout release/3.0 and submit your PR against that branch.

To run the site locally you need to complete the following steps:

• Create the repository with git clone
• Create worktrees for required versions
• Run composer update to install required vendor libraries

An example that sets up work trees for both 2.2 & 3.0 is:

git clone git://github.com/bolt/docs.git bolt-docs
cd bolt-docs
git checkout site
git worktree add var/versions/2.2 release/2.2
git worktree add var/versions/3.0 release/3.0
composer update

Finally if you wish to use the built-in PHP web server, it can be run from the bolt-docs/ folder, pointing to web/ as the document root.

php -S 0.0.0.0:8000 -t web web/index.php
