Chapter 1. About TechDocs


The Red Hat Developer Hub instance comes with the TechDocs plugin preinstalled and enabled by default. Your organization can use the TechDocs plugin to create, find, and manage documentation in a central location and in a standardized way. You can also enhance your technical documentation experience with built-in TechDocs features and add-ons. For example:

Docs-like-code approach
Write your technical documentation in Markdown files that are stored inside your project repository along with your code.
Documentation site generation
Use MkDocs to create a full-featured, Markdown-based, static HTML site for your documentation that is rendered centrally in Developer Hub.
Documentation site metadata and integrations
See additional metadata about the documentation site alongside the static documentation, such as the date of the last update, the site owner, top contributors, open GitHub issues, Slack support channels, and Stack Overflow Enterprise tags.
Built-in navigation and search
Locate the information that you need within a document quickly and easily.
Add-ons
Make your documentation more functional and interactive with supported TechDocs add-ons. Some add-ons are preinstalled and enabled by default. To extend the default functionality, you can dynamically load external and third-party add-ons into your Red Hat Developer Hub instance. If you want to further customize your TechDocs experience, you can create add-ons that meet specific documentation needs for your organization.
