octapush.docs

Quoted from GitHub Guide:

Good documentation is key to the success of any project. Making documentation accessible enables people to learn about a project; making it easy to update ensures that documentation stays relevant.

Two common ways to document a project are README files and wikis:

  • README files are quick and simple way for other users to learn more about your work
  • Wikis on github help you present in-depth information about your project in useful way.

Referring to the above quotation, octapush.docs tries to combine the capabilities of these two things into a single entity and makes it easier for you to publish them according to your needs. And in the presentation, the documentation that you have created will be displayed in a structured (on the side menu) only based on the location of the file to the folder container.

octapush.docs is a web-based application designed to automate and make it easier for you to create/produce documentation for each of your products. So you do not have to bother to make a documentation application that is structured, but easy in the presentation and easy on updating your documentation.

With octapush.docs, you simply change (create, update, or delete) your documentation files, and save those files in GitHub. So, your documentation is ready to use.
