This repository holds the source files and build tools for the official Raspberry Pi documentation website. Raspberry Pi is a line of small, affordable computers and microcontrollers made by a UK nonprofit, commonly used for learning electronics, building projects, and teaching programming. The repository itself is not the documentation you read, but rather the raw files and scripts used to generate the published website at raspberrypi.com/documentation. The actual content is written in AsciiDoc, a text-based format for structured documents, and a set of tools in this repository converts those files into the final website pages. The README for this repository is sparse. It points to the live documentation site for anyone who wants to read the guides, and to a contributing guide for anyone who wants to propose corrections or additions. The documentation content is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0, meaning it can be reused and adapted as long as credit is given and the result is shared under the same terms. The build tooling is licensed separately under the BSD 3-Clause license.
The source files and build tools for the official Raspberry Pi documentation website, written in AsciiDoc, contribute corrections here and the published guides at raspberrypi.com/documentation are updated.
