Setup your development

Learn how to update your docs locally and and deploy them to the public.

Edit and preview

During the onboarding process, we created a repository on your Github with your docs content. You can find this repository on our dashboard. To clone the repository locally, follow these instructions in your terminal.
Previewing helps you make sure your changes look as intended. We built a dev server that renders your docs on localhost:3000 that auto-updates as you edit.
  1. Install the Mintlify CLI to preview the documentation changes locally with this command: npm i -g mintlify
  2. Run the following command at the root of your documentation (where mint.json is): mintlify dev

Deploy your changes

Our Github app automatically deploys your changes to your docs site, so you don’t need to manage deployments yourself. You can find the link to install on your dashboard. Once the bot has been set up, every change in your docs repository will automatically be deployed to production.
Commit and push your changes to Git for your changes to update in your docs site. If you push and don’t see that the Github app successfully deployed your changes, you can also manually update your docs through our dashboard.
