Description: This change is an attempt to fix images in the generated documentation. As it is now they do not work - example. The issues seems to be caused by the fact that Sphinx puts all of the images in
_images
directory and Github Pages, backed byjekyll
, ignores all directories whose names start with_
. The idea is to usesphinx.ext.githubpages
extension that puts.nojekyll
file in the root of the generated sphinx artifacts which is supposed to fix the issue as reported in https://stackoverflow.com/a/64544659. Not a great way to test this e2e locally so may need to revert the change if it turns out that the issue persists.Risk Level: Low, documentation changes
Testing: Generated sphinx's artifacts locally with and without the change. Confirmed that with the change I can see
.nojekyll
file being added togenerated/docs
directory.Docs Changes:
