All submissions are welcome. To submit a change, fork this repo, commit your changes, and send us aPull request.

You can fetch the latest dependencies by opening the command line and running script/bootstrap:

sh$ script/bootstrap==> Installing gem dependencies…==> Installing npm dependencies… You'll need Ruby and Node installed on your system. The required versions for each of these languages can be found in the*.ruby-versionEtpackage.json*Files, respectively.

You can run bundle exec rake build to generate the site, but it's often more usefulto simply build the serverEtStart the site at the same time.

Nanoc compiles the site into static files living in output. It'ssmart enough not to try to compile unchanged files.

You can start the site with script/server:

sh $ script/server Loading site data... Compiling site... Create [0.28s] output/index.html create output/v3/gists/comments/index.html [1.31s] identical output/v3/gists/index.html identical [1.92s] output/v3/issues/comments/index.html update output/v3/issues/labels/index.html [0.25s] update output/v3/index.html … [0.99s] Site compiled in [0.05s] 5.81s. The site is hosted at http://localhost:4000.

Nanoc hasSome nice documentationTo get you started. Though if you're mainly concerned with editing or adding content, you won't need to know much about Nanoc.

Not sure how to structure the docs? Here's what the structure of the API docs should look like:

Note: We're usingKramdown Markdown extensions, such as definition lists.

We specify the JSON responses in Ruby so that we don't have to writethem by hand all over the docs. You can render the JSON for a resourcelike this:

erb <%= json :issue %> This looks up GitHub::Resources::ISSUE in lib/resources.rb.

Some actions return arrays. You can modify the JSON by passing a block:

erb <%= json(:issue) { |hash| [hash] } %> There is also a rake task for generating JSON files from the sample responses in the documentation:

sh$ rake generate_json_from_responses The generated files will end up inJson-dump/.

You can specify terminal blocks by using the command-line syntax highlighting.

command-line $ curl foobar You can use certain characters, like $ and #, to emphasize different partsof commands.

command-line # call foobar $ curl <em> foobar <em> .... For more information, seeThe reference documentation.

Deployments happen automatically once a PR is merged into master. A tool calledPublisherTakes the master branch, builds it using Nanoc, and publishes the content to gh-pages. Thus, any commit to master is automatically sent over to gh-pages, where it's picked up and served by GitHub Pages.
