sst-docs

This repo provides the Docusaurus source code for sst-docs. This website is NOT THE MAIN SST WEBSITE, but a subsidiary website containing documentation focusing on usage of SST.

• The main website is located at http://sst-simulator.org/
• This subsidiary website is located at http://sst-simulator.org/sst-docs
• This website documents the SST capabilities provided and supported by the SST team. Community-provided components may have their own documentation which is linked to from the main SST site's "Community" page.

This subsidiary website is developed using Docusaurus, refer to the Docusaurus Documentation for details on the how to develop content and the file structure of the source code.

The branches of the repo have the following purposes:

• The master branch of this repo contains Docusaurus source for the website.
• The gh-pages branch contains the built static website that is automatically created by Docusaurus operations.

How to develop content

• The SST Team is continually updating this website.
  • For minor updates to existing documentation (corrections, updates, etc.), open a PR with the proposed changes
  • For new documentation contributions, open an Issue on the repository prior to submitting a PR. This will give the SST community an opportunity to let you know if documentation on the same topic is already in progress.
