Detailed Description

OpenShift documentation is a repository containing the source material for technical documentation across multiple OpenShift products and distributions.

The repository addresses the need to maintain comprehensive, consistent documentation for OpenShift Container Platform, OKD, OpenShift Online, and OpenShift Dedicated. It solves this by storing all documentation in AsciiDoc format, which is then transformed into HTML, CSS, and other output formats through automation built on AsciiDoctor. This approach allows a single source of truth to be published and maintained across the different OpenShift offerings.

The project is designed for contributors who want to improve OpenShift documentation and for organizations deploying OpenShift who need reliable reference material. It suits teams that value collaborative documentation development and want to contribute to an open-source Kubernetes distribution and its commercial variants. The repository provides structured guidance for contributors, including documentation guidelines to maintain consistency, setup instructions for workstations, and workflows for editing existing content or creating new topics. A dedicated documentation team manages the project and can be reached for questions or feedback.

The project maintains active contribution pathways with documented processes for getting started, clear style guidelines, and organized resources in a contributing_to_docs directory. The repository accepts community contributions and has participated in community-driven development initiatives. Documentation updates are tracked through the standard pull request workflow, allowing visibility into ongoing improvements and changes to the source material.
