Pantheon Documentation

https://pantheon.io/docs/

This repository contains the Pantheon documentation, as well as the tools to build local test environments.

Changelog

• 8/5/19: We've relaunched the project using Gatsby for faster development, and much faster page speed.

Contributing

Our docs are written in Markdown, extended with MDX components. The pages live in source/content. Read CONTRIBUTING for more details on contributing documentation improvements.

Local Installation

Prerequisites

• MacOS or Linux system (untested with Bash on Windows)

• Node.js

• Gatsby CLI:

  npm install -g gatsby-cli

• Alternatively, you can use Lando. Use Lando to bypass installing Node.js and the Gatsby CLI on your local machine. Lando requires a Docker version in the 2.1.0.0 - 3.1.99 range.

Get the Code

Fork and clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/pantheon-systems/documentation.git

Or

git clone [email protected]:pantheon-systems/documentation.git
cd documentation

Install

Using the Gatsby CLI directly

npm ci

GitHub Token

You can install directly on your host computer or via Lando. Both ways require the docs app to use a GITHUB_API token to operate. We use the gatsby-remark-embed-snippet to use files from GitHub in our docs. Before you can build a local development site, you need to provide a GitHub token to the environment:

1. Log in to GitHub and go to https://github.com/settings/tokens

2. Click Generate new token

3. Give the token a name and click the public_repo checkbox, then the Generate Token button at the bottom

4. Copy the token to your clipboard.

5. Create or edit .env.development, and add (replacing $TOKENHASH ):

   GITHUB_API=$TOKENHASH

Run

cd documentation/
gatsby develop

You can view the local environment at localhost:8000/. Updates to docs are automatically refreshed in the browser.

Using Lando

Alternatively, you can use Lando. The lando start command initiates the app, installs node dependencies, and starts the gatsby develop server for you:

lando start

You can view the local environment at localhost:8000/. Updates to docs are automatically refreshed in the browser.

Testing

We include several tools to test that new content doesn't break the documentation. Most of these tests are performed automatically by our continuous integration service, but pull requests created from external contributors aren't included in CI tests. If you want to manually test your branch, you can execute the following tests within the Docker container.

Merge Conflicts

To check for merge conflict messages accidentally committed into the docs, run merge_conflicts.sh from scripts.
