Should we deploy the docs on GitHub pages or some other alternatives? #2180

Open deepakmahakale opened 2 years ago

It will be easier to go through the docs if they are deployed somewhere with navigation like the previous site used to do.

I tried to move the docs to root and use GitHub pages but we may need to use some proper theme.

Can we move the /docs to root and try using GitHub pages?

Possible Solutions:

  1. Add the static site code to the gh-pages branch and deploy the branch using GitHub pages
  2. move the docs/ to root and deploy
  3. Any other alternatives?

@deepakmahakale that's an interesting idea. The nav is definitely helpful, I agree.

I would hate to change the URL of the docs as it is though since it will invalidate a bunch of URLs in search engines and links.

Does it have to be included in a gh-pages branch?

The process that builds the markdown files can be updated to write to multiple locations...
