Instead of creating a new repo using the [just-the-docs template](https://github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs-template), you can copy the template files into your existing repo and configure the template's Github Actions workflow to build from a `docs` directory. You can clone the template to your local machine or download the `.zip` file to access the files. - -### Copy the template files - -1. Create a `.github/workflows` directory at your project root if your repo doesn't already have one. Copy the `pages.yml` file into this directory. GitHub Actions searches this directory for workflow files. - -2. Create a `docs` directory at your project root and copy all remaining template files into this directory. - -### Modify the GitHub Actions workflow - -The GitHub Actions workflow that builds and deploys your site to Github Pages is defined by the `pages.yml` file. You'll need to edit this file to that so that your build and deploy steps look to your `docs` directory, rather than the project root. - -1. Set the default `working-directory` param for the build job. - - ```yaml - build: - runs-on: ubuntu-latest - defaults: - run: - working-directory: docs - ``` - -2. Set the `working-directory` param for the Setup Ruby step. - - ```yaml - - name: Setup Ruby - uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1 - with: - ruby-version: '3.1' - bundler-cache: true - cache-version: 0 - working-directory: '${{ github.workspace }}/docs' - ``` - -3. Set the path param for the Upload artifact step: - - ```yaml - - name: Upload artifact - uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v1 - with: - path: "docs/_site/" - ``` - -4. Modify the trigger so that only changes within the `docs` directory start the workflow. Otherwise, every change to your project (even those that don't affect the docs) would trigger a new site build and deploy. - - ```yaml - on: - push: - branches: - - "main" - paths: - - "docs/**" - ``` - -## Licensing and Attribution - -This repository is licensed under the [MIT License].
