Contributing to the Documentation
If you have any changes or improvements you’d like to contribute for review and merge, to update misinformation or outdated information, as well as maybe even adding whole new pages, you can follow the general outline below to get a local copy of the documentation running.
Instructions written for macOS hosts but is adoptable to other OSs.
Once brew is installed, you can run brew install ruby in your terminal.
If using ZSH (any recent versions of macOS) Be sure to read the post install text as it suggest you should run the following command to export to PATH:
Installing Docs dependencies, and running the server.
Run bundle install in your terminal window.
Running bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental will build and run a live copy of the DarwinKVM docs on port 4000 by default.
To change the port, you can specify the IP address and port to run on, allowing local mobile devices to also connect and preview DKVM Docs.
bundle exec jekyll serve --host YOUR_IP_ADDRESS --port PORT --incremental
You’ll now be able to see the changes you make update live so you can work quickly and preview the final look of your Markdown files easily. Once you are done making your changes you can then proceed to submit a Pull Request for review, and eventual merge to Main.
A big thanks to all contributors and future contributors! ꩓
