This repo is a fork-ready base for your project's documentation. It lets you host a sphinx-generated site (with the Read the Docs theme) on GitHub Pages using GitHub Actions.

For more information, see this article:

1. Fork this repo
2. On your forked repo, go to the "Actions" tab and click "I understand my workflows, go ahead and enable them" to enable GitHub workflows
3. On your forked repo, go to the "Settings" tab. Under "GitHub Pages" choose 'gh-pages branch' under "Source"
4. Make a small change to docs/index.rst
5. git commit and git push something to trigger your site to be built

Every time you push to github.com on master, github will automatically spin up a container in their cloud to update your documentation.

After you begin to edit the contents of the site, you'll probably also want to customize the following files:

1. docs/conf.py
2. The python files in src/
3. Other .rst files in docs/ as needed
