Publishing

The latest branch is the latest stable version of documentation for the latest publicly available release at: https://docs.redislabs.com/latest

Documentation for previous versions is published through the version build branches (for example 5.2-build).

The master branch is published to https://docs.redislabs.com/staging/dev and represents the unstable version of documentation for the latest publicly available release. When stable, this branch is published to the latest branch.

Contributing to the documentation

Whether you see a typo or you want to suggest a change to the technical content, we encourage you to fork this repository and submit a pull request.

The "Edit on GitHub" link that is in the upper-left corner of every page opens the source file of that page so you can easily submit a change.

Content organization

Articles are organized in directories that present the articles in a heirarchy in the site sidebar. When you add a file to a directory, it is automatically listed in that section in the sidebar.

The metadata (front matter) of a page is used to:

  • Order the articles in a section by the 'weight' parameter (Remember, lower weight = higher priority
  • Mark articles as draft: true so that they are not published

To add a new section in the sidebar, you must add a directory and add an _index.md file in that directory. The content of the _index.md file is shown when you click on the category in the sidebar, and the weight of the _index.md file determines the order in which the category is listed in the sidebar.
