# Contented
[Contented](https://contented.fuxing.dev) is a prose bundler for your documentation with pipeline driven authoring-oriented workflow to encourage developers authoring within its contextual Git repository.
With a headless design of 1 config file `contented.config.mjs`,
developers can start writing their [markdown content](./04-markdown.md)
and preview it on their localhost `contented generate --watch`.
Choosing convention over configuration reduces HTML/UI clutter, allowing developers to focus on authoring.
Authored content can be continuously delivered (CD) into a hosted static site
(e.g., GitHub Pages/Netlify/Vercel) for preview `contented generate`.
As code drift, so does documentation;
this allows each pull request to have an accompanying sharable preview of the documentation.
With CD, it effectively shift-left your documentation workflow and checks it is compilable and presentable.
By encouraging authoring next to the source (in the same git repo),
developers can contextually document changes as they develop.
All domain-specific changes will go into the `main` branch with one Git Pull Request.
With `contented build`, you can compile your prose into sources `index.js` and `*.json`.
That output into `./dist` to `npm publish` them into any registry of your choice,
for you can easily `npm i @your-scope/your-npm-package` and use the processed content on any of your downstream sites.
Easily pulling up-to-date content and prose from individual domain-specific repositories and re-presented.
Think microservices, but for your prose!
## Motivation
If you don’t make it easy to get something done (authoring),
nobody will go out of their way to get it done perfectly every time.
Turn it into a GitOps workflow
and give people the necessary tools and power to get it done perfectly every single time —
everyone will get it done, as now there is no other way else to get it done.
An efficient workflow naturally satisfies.
### Just Another SSG?
**This is not a static site generator.**
This is a prose processor workflow with a built-in static site generator.
The outcome
we're trying to achieve is this [@contentedjs/contented-example/dist](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/@contentedjs/contented-example)
