Premake Website

Premake website is built using Docusaurus 2, a modern static website generator. Search functionality is provided for free by Algolia DocSearch.

All docs pages can be found in the docs/ folder.

Adding a new entry to the docs

Editing our documentation website is very simple. You don't have to build a whole website for this. All pages are stored in Markdown files, so in order to add a new entry:

1. Add a new Markdown file into the docs/ folder. Follow naming conventions there.
2. Add your Markdown file's name into the sidebars.js. Make sure you've kept alphabetical order among category items.

Use other files as references.

Installation

npm install

Local Development

npm start

This command starts a local development server and open up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

To see a list of broken links (mistakes happen!), be sure to run npm run build before submitting updates. Your changes will be rejected if they contain broken links.

Build

npm run-script build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

GitHub Actions

• Every push and pull request that affects anything in website/** will trigger website build (to make sure that no errors like broken links were introduced)
• Every push to the master branch in this repo that affects anything in website/** will trigger website deployment. It means that the website will be built and pushed to the master branch of premake.github.io.

Deployment

Target repo for deployment is specified in docusaurus.config.js.

• organizationName is a GitHub account name: github.com/premake/premake.github.io
• projectName is a target repository: github.com/premake/premake.github.io

docusaurus deploy command is used to automatically build and push static files into premake.github.io repo.

Deployments are authenticated by a key pair. The private key is hosted in premake-core in Settings > Secrets. The public key is host in premake.github.io in Settings > Deploy Keys.
