Metaflow Documentation

This repository houses the documentation for metaflow, both for Python and R.

Static documentation

These documents are published using the docusaurus framework.

Updating the documentation is very simple and there are a couple of options on how to do it, depending on what sort of change you are making.

Easy changes in the browser

Navigate to the page that you want to edit and click on Edit this Page which appears at the bottom of the content. An in-browser IDE will appear in your browser where you can edit the .md file. Then push those changes to a new branch and create a pull request.

See Using GitHub in VSCode for more information on how to create branches in the IDE.

Running the documentation locally for more complex changes

• Clone this repo
• cd docs
• yarn
• yarn start

Any saved changes that you make to the .md files in the docs directory will automatically be reflected at the local preview page.

PR Previews

If you create a PR, a preview domain will be created where you can view your changes. The link to that preview domain will be shown in the Conversation tab of your PR. The preview is published using Vercel.

Automatic publishing

Any pushes to the master branch will automatically publish to the live documentation pages. The publishing uses GitHub Actions and GitHub pages. You can see the progress of the publish action by going to the Actions tab of this repository.

If you forget the site URL, you can go to Environments on the right hand side, click on github-pages and then click on View Deployment.
