```bash ### How is the documentation site generated?
npm i -g docsify
```
and then use The documentation site is generated using [`docsify`](https://docsify.js.org), and served using GitHub pages. Typically you would not need to change any configuration, or build the site locally, but incase you are interested here is how it works:
```bash 1. The guideline homepage's source is [`index.html`](index.html). GitHub Pages serve this file as a SPA using `docsify`.
2. The `docsify` script generates the content of `markdown` files in `/docs` directory on demand when you are browsing the documentation site.
3. The home page is genrated from the [`index.md`](index.md) and sidebar navigation is generated from [`components/sidebar.md`](components/sidebar.md).
4. To serve the docs locally:
Clone freeCodeCamp:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp.git
docsify serve docs docsify serve docs
``` ```
Install `docsify`:
```sh
npm install -g docsify
```
and serve the `/docs` directory
```sh
docsify serve docs
```
Alternatively, if you have installed freeCodeCamp locally (see the local setup guide), we bundle the CLI with the development tools so you can run `npm run docs:serve` from the root of the repo.
