Build GitHub Pages

This documentation is created by GitHub Pages. The source files are stored in the repository MOOSE in the subfolder docs. We use Just the Docs, which is a modern, highly customizable, and responsive Jekyll theme for documentation.

{: .note }

The class documentation is created by its own build and is not the scope for this page!

The build steps to create this documentation are defined in .github/workflows/gh-pages.yml.

It is divided into two jobs:

• build:
  • Only changes to in the subfolder docs or gh-pages.yml will trigger a build.
  • Checkout of the git repository MOOSE.
  • Setup Ruby version 3.1, which is needed by Jekyll.
  • Run action configure-pages.
  • Build with Jekyll.
  • Run action upload-pages-artifact.
• deploy:
  • Run action deploy-pages.

• Go to the docs subfolder.
• Run docker compose up.
• Open a browser with the following URL: http://127.0.0.1:4000/.
