To make changes to GoCD's documentation, you can do this:

1. Install all dependencies

   The dependencies for building the documentation are:

   • nodejs (known to work with v8.9.4)
   • yarn (known to work with 1.13.0)
   • Ruby (known to work with 2.3.6)
   • Bundler gem (known to work with 1.17.2)

   Then run this to get all the dependent gems:

   bundle install --jobs 4 --path .bundle --clean

2. To install yarn dependencies

   yarn install

3. Run the documentation on the local server (defaults to http://localhost:1313)

   yarn run index
   yarn run serve

The contents of the public directory needs to be pushed out to the gh-pages branch of the repository.

bundle exec rake publish
