# DocCollector

Copies files from multiple branches of one repostiory into multiple folders of another.

Input files can have metadata. Metadata can be overriden by a yaml file in each branch.

Files (like README.md) can be split into multiple output files, if requested by their metadata (or the main yaml file). Start/stop points can either be specified in the metadata as start/end css selctors, or a default convention can be used.

Produced files will contain additional metadata, such as a list of which 'subfolders' contain a similar file (version switching).

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'doc_collector'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install doc_collector

## Usage

DocCollector will read the docs/collect_branches.yml file from the ‘master’ branch of the provided repository. In URL conflicts, the first version listed wins.

```yaml
branches:
- branch: develop
subfolder: docs/latest

- branch: support/v4
subfolder: docs/v4

- branch: support/v3
subfolder: docs/v3
```

DocCollector will look at all *.md files in each branch. In addition, it will read docs/collect_files.yml to discover additional files. collect_files.yml can override metadata in individual files.

```yaml
patterns:
- "/**/*.md"
files:
- path: README.md
render_and_split:
- to: getting_started.htmf
start_at: "a[name='installation']"
stop_before: "a[name='troubleshooting_guide']"
heading: Getting Started
- path: Advanced.md
render_and_split: true #Use automatic convention, a[name='split-installation'] a[name-'split-installation-stop']

- path: Plugins/AdvancedFilters/Readme.md
to: plugins/advancedfilters.md

- path: Contrib/PdfRenderer/License.md
to: /licenses/pdfrenderer.md

- to: /licenses/pdfrenderer.md
title: PDF renderer licensing
