# Docbase
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/appbaseio/Docbase.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/appbaseio/Docbase) [![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/grunt-docbase.png?downloads=true&downloadRank=true&stars=true)](https://nodei.co/npm/grunt-docbase/)

### We are no longer actively maintaining Docbase, we instead recommend using [gatsbyjs](https://gatsbyjs.org).

Turn .md files into a beautiful documentation hub with versioning and beautifully rendered menus.

* Docbase can read files that are hosted on github, locally or a http:// server.
* It can publish documentation hubs to github pages (via travis) or locally which can be served with as static files with a http:// server.

Docbase comes with a yeoman generator that turns the installation and configuration process into a piece of cake.
