How to make Kustomize docs contributions

Kustomize uses Docsy for the site, and was forked from the docsy-example

## Prerequisites

- Install hugo
- Clone kustomize
  - `git clone git@github.com:kubernetes-sigs/kustomize && cd kustomize/`

## Development

The doc input files are in the `site` directory. The site can be hosted locally using `hugo serve`.

    cd site/
    hugo serve

    ...
    Running in Fast Render Mode. For full rebuilds on change: hugo server --disableFastRender
    Web Server is available at http://localhost:1313/kustomize/ (bind address 127.0.0.1)

## Publishing

Hugo compiles the files under `site` Hugo into html which it puts in the `docs` folder:

    cd site/
    hugo

                       | EN
    -------------------+-----
      Pages            | 99
      Paginator pages  |  0
      Non-page files   |  0
      Static files     | 47
      Processed images |  0
      Aliases          |  2
      Sitemaps         |  1
      Cleaned          |  0

Add the `site/` and `docs/` folders to a commit, then create a PR.

## Publishing docs to your kustomize fork

It is possible to have the kustomize docs published to your forks github pages.

### Setup GitHub Pages for the fork

1. Go to the forked repo’s Settings tab
   - e.g. https://github.com/pwittrock/kustomize
2. Go to the GitHub Pages section
3. Set the source to master branch /docs folder

### Publish to the fork’s GitHub Pages

Changes must be pushed to the fork’s master branch to be served as the fork’s GitHub Page.

1. Make a change to a file under `site/content`
2. Run `hugo` from the `site/` directory
3. Add the `site` and `docs` directories to the master branch
4. Commit and push the changes to the remote fork’s master branch
5. After a few minutes, the docs should be served from the fork’s GitHub Page
   - e.g. https://pwittrock.github.io/kustomize/
