Technical guidance

How we build and operate products at the Ministry of Justice. This repo is inspired by, and borrows from, GDS's technical guidance site.

It's built using the gov.uk tech-docs-template, and hosted using GitHub Pages.

Getting started

To preview the site locally, we need to use the terminal, and run:

make preview

This will create a local web server, at http://localhost:4567 This is only accessible on our own computer, and won't be accessible to anyone else.

Making changes

To make changes, edit the appropriate Markdown files in/below the source/documentation directory.

Make sure to make changes in a branch, and issue a pull request when you want them to be reviewed and published.

Publishing changes

Any changes merged into the main branch will be published automatically.

Every change should be reviewed in a pull request, no matter how minor, and we've enabled branch protection to enforce this.
