Documentation system overview
At the root of the Besu documentation repository (besu-docs), the docs directory contains all the site documentation, which is generated into a static HTML website using MkDocs and the Material for MkDocs theme.
The documentation is automatically updated using webhooks linking GitHub to the site when you merge a pull request in the main branch of the Besu documentation repository.
The system also detects tags in the GitHub repository and makes the latest stable release and previous versions available.
Required accounts
If you want to contribute to the documentation, you need a Linux Foundation account.
If you want to raise a documentation issue, you need an Atlassian account.
