For user documentation, please head to .

## Development hints

* Issues can be reported at .
* Suggestions can be contributed via pull requests. MADR offers pre-configured VS Code web environment at [Gitpod](https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/adr/madr).

* `template/adr-template.md` is mirrored to `docs/decisions/adr-template`.

## How to start Jekyll locally

For rendering the `docs` directory, Jekyll is needed.

For local development, follow the [Jekyll installation instructions](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/).
Installing the latest version of ruby followed by `gem install bundler` should be enough.

Afterwards, run

```terminal
bundle install
jekyll serve --livereload
```

and go to in your browser.

On Windows, using a dockerized environment is recommended:

```terminal
docker run -p 4000:4000 --rm -v "C:\git-repositories\adr.github.io\madr\docs":/site bretfisher/jekyll-serve
```

In case you get errors regarding `Gemfile.lock`, just delete `Gemfile.lock` and rerun.

## Updating just-the-docs

* Adapt `docs/Gemfile` to use newer just-the-docs version. Thereby check for versions.
* Delete `docs/Gemfile.lock`. Start `bundle install`.
* Check .
* Check .

## Releasing a new version

1. Update the examples at `docs/index.md` and `docs/examples.md`.
2. Update the concrete decisions in `docs/decisions/*` with the new template.
3. Commit ("Update examples and decisions") and push. Possibly as pull request.
4. Adapt the version reference in `template/0000-use-madr.md`.
5. Update "template" files in in `docs/decisions/`
* Copy `template/0000-use-madr.md` to `docs/decisions/0000-use-madr.md`.
* Adapt content of `docs/decisions/adr-template.md` based on `template/adr-template.md`.
Thereby, ensure that the YAML front matter in `docs/decisions/adr-template.md` is kept.
6. Add link to `docs/index.md` at "Older versions" (for the homepage).
7. Update `CHANGELOG.md`.
8. Copy `.markdownlint.yml` to `template/.markdownlint.yml`
9. Update `package.json` and publish to [npmjs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/madr) using [release-it](https://www.npmjs.com/package/release-it) (do not create a release on GitHub). This also does a commit.
10. Create GitHub release using [github-release-from-changelog](https://www.npmjs.com/package/github-release-from-changelog).
11. Merge `develop` into `gh-pages`
