A docusaurus site that powers docs.getdbt.com.

There are two long-lived branches in this repo:

• current: This branch is what is reflected at at docs.getdbt.com
• next: This branch represent the next release of dbt, and is deployed next.docs.getdbt.com

We welcome contributions from community members to this repo:

• Fixes: If you notice an error (there are likely many), use the Edit this page button at the bottom of each page to suggest a change. We recommend you contribute small changes directly from the GitHub interface.
• New documentation: If you contributed code in dbt-core, we encourage you to also write the docs here!
• Refactors: At this time, we are unable to support community members who wish to re-write sections of docs.getdbt.com. We hope to change this in the future!

We recommend locally rendering changes made to the docs site so you can review your proposed modifications. Our setup instructions use homebrew:

0. If applicable, install Xcode Command Line Tools; you'll likely need an AppleID for this. You will also need homebrew.
1. Install node: brew install node
2. Clone this repo: git clone [email protected]:fishtown-analytics/docs.getdbt.com.git
3. cd into the repo: cd docs.getdbt.com
4. cd into the website subdirectory: cd website
5. Install the required node packages: npm install
6. Build the website: npm start
7. Before pushing your changes to a branch, check that all links work by using the make build script.

Advisory:

• Currently an npm install produces a number of dependency warnings, in particular several claiming that docusaurus/core is missing. Rest assured, this message is a red herring. As of writing this, no 2.0.0 package exists, so you won't have much luck trying to install it. Feel free to ignore those warnings.
• If you run into an fatal error: 'vips/vips8' file not found error when you run npm install, you may need to run brew install vips. Warning: this one will take a while -- go ahead and grab some coffee!

You can also check out this Loom video that I recorded for co-workers — it covers setting up docs.getdbt.com locally, and adding a page with links and images. Heads up — this was very much something I did on the fly, so is not super polished!

Check out docs.getdbt.com/styles for examples of different components that can be used in these docs.

You can also use components directly from the docusaurus library.
