Onboarding process
1. Sign in with GitHub account
We use GitHub as your docs repository source. All your docs will be stored and managed on your GitHub.
Hit "Sign in with GitHub" to Connect your GitHub account first. It will ask to install Docuo OAuth app to your GitHub account. After this, Docuo has read and write permissions to the repository where the documents are located.
2. Clone template repository
On the next step, you'll create your first repository for your project. We've prepared template repository for you. This will help you get started faster and edit content you want to publish with ease. Hit "Create", Docuo public template repository will be cloned to your own GitHub account, which you can find in your GitHub repository list. After successfully cloning the template repository, we also prepare updating guide for you.
3. Set your project name and site subdomain
The last step is to define your project name and site subdomain. We will help you apply for your docs website domain. Type in your project name, and the subdomain will be automatically filled in. You can re-enter the subdomain you like. Then hit "Complete" to finish set up process.
If your requested subdomain is taken, you'll get an error message. Please email mailto:docuo@spreading.ai to check if it is an active account, or if we can free up the subdomain for you.
Visit your first project's website
Once you've successfully set up your project, you will enter your project homepage. You can see the basic information of your project on the homepage, including project name, associated GitHub repository, site link and site preview page. The website is in publishing status when you first enter the homepage, which will take 1-2 minutes.
After the site is successfully published, you can click the site link on the homepage to access your initialization docs website built from the template repository content.
