Start building awesome documentation in under 5 minutes
Learn how to update your docs locally and deploy them to the public.
Clone your docs locally
During the onboarding process, we created a repository on your Github with your docs content. You can find this repository on our dashboard. To clone the repository locally, follow these instructions in your terminal.
Preview changes
Previewing helps you make sure your changes look as intended. We built a command line interface to render these changes locally.
npm i -g mintlify
docs.json
is): mintlify dev
If you’re currently using the legacy mint.json
configuration file, please update the Mintlify CLI:
npm i -g mintlify@latest
And run the new upgrade command in your docs repository:
mintlify upgrade
You should now be using the new docs.json
configuration file. Feel free to delete the mint.json
file from your repository.
Install our Github app
Our Github app automatically deploys your changes to your docs site, so you don’t need to manage deployments yourself. You can find the link to install on your dashboard. Once the bot has been successfully installed, there should be a check mark next to the commit hash of the repo.
Push your changes
Commit and push your changes to Git for your changes to update in your docs site. If you push and don’t see that the Github app successfully deployed your changes, you can also manually update your docs through our dashboard.
Add content directly in your files with MDX syntax and React components. You can use any of our components, or even build your own.
Add content to your docs with MDX syntax.
Add code directly to your docs with syntax highlighting.
Add images to your docs to make them more engaging.
Add templates to your docs to make them more reusable.
