Overview

This repository contains all the documentation required for our project. The documentation is stored in a docs directory and is written in Markdown (.md) and MDX (.mdx) formats. The primary goal of this repository is to provide clear, comprehensive, and easily navigable documentation for all users.

The repository is structured as follows:

Documentation Organization

To ensure consistency and ease of navigation, the documentation should be organized as follows:

1. Home Page (index.md): This should serve as the main entry point and provide an overview of the documentation structure.

2. Getting Started: Include a getting-started.md that provides an introduction to the project, installation instructions, and a quick start guide.

3. Guides: The guides/ directory should contain detailed guides on various topics. Each guide should be a self-contained document that covers a specific aspect of the project.

4. Reference: The reference/ directory should hold all reference materials, such as API documentation, command references, and configuration details.

5. Tutorials: The tutorials/ directory is for step-by-step tutorials, preferably written in MDX to include interactive components where necessary.

Documentation Maintenance

Writing and Updating Documentation

• Consistency: Ensure that the tone, style, and structure of the documentation are consistent across all files. Follow a unified style guide for Markdown and MDX.

• Version Control: When updating documentation, clearly indicate which version of the software it pertains to. Use versioned directories or tags if necessary.

• Links: Use relative links for referencing other documentation files within the docs directory to ensure that the documentation remains portable.

Search Optimization

The Supabase Embeddings Generator GitHub Action is configured to automatically generate embeddings for your documentation, improving its searchability.

• Triggering the Action: The action is triggered automatically on each commit to the main branch or on demand by manually dispatching the workflow.

• Embedding Updates: After every significant update to the documentation, the embeddings should be regenerated to ensure that search results remain relevant.

• Monitoring: Regularly monitor the action’s output to ensure that embeddings are generated correctly and search results are effective.
