Build beautiful, fast, and modern documentation sites with ease.

Devdocs is an open-source platform that helps you create stunning, feature-rich documentation sites using a powerful and intuitive CLI. It's built on a modern stack including Next.js, Contentlayer, and Tailwind CSS, giving you a first-class developer experience.

• 🚀 Blazing Fast: Built on Next.js 14 with the App Router for optimal performance.
• ✍️ MDX-Powered: Write documentation in Markdown and embed React components seamlessly.
• 🔒 Type-Safe Content: Leverages Contentlayer to validate your content and provide full type-safety.
• 🎨 Customizable & Accessible UI: A rich set of pre-built components from the packages/ui library. Built with Radix UI and styled with Tailwind CSS, they are fully themeable, accessible, and ready to use in your MDX files.
• ⚙️ Simple CLI: Get your documentation site up and running in seconds with devdocs-cli.
• ** monorepo Ready:** Structured as a Turborepo monorepo for scalability and maintainability.

Get your Devdocs site running in just a few commands:

1. Create a new site:

   npx devdocs-cli create my-awesome-docs

2. Navigate to your new directory:

   cd my-awesome-docs

3. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install

4. Start the development server:

   pnpm dev

Your new documentation site is now running at http://localhost:3000.

This project is a monorepo managed by Turborepo and pnpm workspaces.
