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