About

This is a library containing utilities to generate (reference) documentation for the docker CLI on docs.docker.com.

Disclaimer

This library is intended for use by Docker's CLIs, and is not intended to be a general-purpose utility. Various bits are hard-coded or make assumptions that are very specific to our use-case. Contributions are welcome, but we will not accept contributions to make this a general-purpose module.

Usage

To generate the documentation it's recommended to do so using a Go submodule in your repository.

We will use the example of docker/buildx and create a Go submodule in a docs folder (recommended):

$ mkdir docs
$ cd ./docs
$ go mod init github.com/docker/buildx/docs
$ go get github.com/docker/cli-docs-tool

Your go.mod should look like this:

module github.com/docker/buildx/docs

go 1.16

require (
	github.com/docker/cli-docs-tool v0.0.0
)

Next, create a file named main.go inside that directory containing the following Go code from example/main.go.

Running this example should produce the following output:

$ go run main.go
INFO: Generating Markdown for "docker buildx bake"
INFO: Generating Markdown for "docker buildx build"
INFO: Generating Markdown for "docker buildx create"
INFO: Generating Markdown for "docker buildx du"
...
INFO: Generating YAML for "docker buildx uninstall"
INFO: Generating YAML for "docker buildx use"
INFO: Generating YAML for "docker buildx version"
INFO: Generating YAML for "docker buildx"

Generated docs will be available in the ./docs folder of the project.
