Instantly publish markdown from Github docs folder

Elegantly leverage on your Github docs folder as a public-facing documentation website. Super easy to use, barely an inconvenience. Inspired by docsify.

Usage

Structure your docs/ folder like so:

.
└── docs/
    ├── readme.md               # TOC (navigation menu)
    ├── index.html              # Copy from template
    ├── home.md                 # ...Site pages
    ├── getting-started.md
    └── config.md
    ...
    └── any-other-page.md

Copy index.html

Copy and paste the following code into docs/index.html:

<!-- index.html -->
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <!-- Import modules and stylesheet -->
    <script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/zero-md@3?register"></script>
    <script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/zero-md-docs@1"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/zero-md-docs@1/dist/default.min.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- Declare `app` entry point -->
    <div id="app"></div>
  </body>
</html>

Add readme.md

Create docs/readme.md containing a table of contents (or site links). This acts as the site navigation menu.

<!-- readme.md -->
- [Home](home.md)
- [Getting Started](getting-started.md)
- [Configuration](config.md)
...
- [External Link](https://example.com/)

[!NOTE]
The first link is always the home page.

Publish with Github Pages

From your Github repo page, go to Setting > Pages > Source > Deploy from a branch, then select the /docs folder.
