update-imported-docs

Update imported docs

This script updates the target files generated from other repos listed in the <config.yml> file, which is specified as the command line argument.

Requirements

Imported docs must follow these guidelines:

1. Be listed somewhere in the /_data/imported.yml table of contents file.

2. Have title defined in the front matter. For example:

   ---
   title: Title Displayed in Table of Contents
   ---
   
   Rest of the .md file...
   

3. Adhere to the Documentation Style Guide.

Usage

From within this directory, run the following command:

+./update-imported-docs-[linux|macos] <config.yaml>

The output should look similar to the following:

Website root directory: /Users/someuser/git/kubernetes-website

            *   *   *

Cloning repo "community"...

            *   *   *

Docs imported! Run 'git add .' 'git commit -m <comment>' and 'git push' to upload them.

Config file format

Each config file may contain multiple repos, which will be imported together. You should modify the corresponding update-imported-docs/<config.yml> file to reflect the desired src and dst paths.

You may also create new config files for different groups of documents to import. The following is an example of the YAML file format:

repos:
- name: kubernetes                          #tmp directory name
  remote: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes.git
  branch: release-1.9
  generate-command: hack/generate-docs.sh   #optional command to run
  files:
  - src: docs/admin/cloud-controller-manager.md
    dst: docs/reference/generated/cloud-controller-manager.md
  - src: docs/admin/kube-apiserver.md
    dst: docs/reference/generated/kube-apiserver.md
- name: community                           #tmp directory name
  remote: https://github.com/kubernetes/community.git
  branch: master
  files:
  - src: contributors/devel/README.md
    dst: docs/imported/community/devel.md
  - src: contributors/guide/README.md
    dst: docs/imported/community/guide.md

Note: generate-command is an optional entry, which can be used to run a given command to auto-generate the docs from within that repo.

Fixing Links

To fix relative links within your imported files, set the repo config's gen-absolute-links value to true. You can see an example of this in community.yml.
