Contributing to the Docs

We welcome contributions to our documentation! Our docs are hosted on GitBook and synced with GitHub.

How It Works

  • Documentation lives in the docs/ directory on the gitbook branch
  • GitBook automatically syncs changes from GitHub
  • You can edit docs directly on GitHub or locally

Editing Docs Locally

  1. Clone the repository and switch to the gitbook branch:

    git clone https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT.git
    cd AutoGPT
    git checkout gitbook
    
  2. Make your changes to markdown files in docs/

  3. Preview changes:

    • Push to a branch and create a PR - GitBook will generate a preview
    • Or use any markdown preview tool locally

Adding a New Page

  1. Create a new markdown file in the appropriate docs/ subdirectory
  2. Add the new page to the relevant SUMMARY.md file to include it in the navigation
  3. Submit a pull request to the gitbook branch

Submitting a Pull Request

When you're ready to submit your changes, create a pull request targeting the gitbook branch. We will review your changes and merge them if appropriate.
