Additional information

How do I update the documentation?

First you need to generate a github token and add it to a .env file at the root of the project in the GITHUB_TOKEN variable.

You can copy, paste and rename the .env.example at the root of the project to get going faster.

There's a fetchReleases.ts script in the scripts folder .

You can use it by issuing the command yarn fetch:releases which will download all the releases's markdown files and convert them into json files in the public/api folder. These files will be used as json endpoints to fetch the documentation from the client.

How do I change the highlight theme?

The script mentioned above uses shiki to process the code which in turn uses VSCode tokens. Therefore any VSCode theme can be applied.

All you have to do is retrieve the JSON file describing your favorite theme (see ./scripts/github-light.json for an example), paste it into the scripts folder and refer to it in the fetchReleases.ts file around line 35: const theme = await loadTheme(resolve(__dirname, 'your-theme.json'));.
