This website is written in Markdown and gets built to a static website using mkdocs and a modified version of the mkdocs-material theme. Any new commits to the main branch will auto deploy to GitHub pages using a GitHub action. The resulting website is reachable under https://msys2.github.io and https://www.msys2.org. Changes to the main branch usually take a minute or two until they are live.

For small changes:

• Just use the online editor on GitHub and use the Markdown preview to inspect your changes
• Open a PR with your changes in case you don't have commit rights
• Note: The Markdown dialect and extensions understood by mkdocs and GitHub is slightly different, so double check that the deployed website matches what you expected
• Note: Every page on the website has a small "edit" icon in the top right corner which leads you straight to the online editor for that page

For larger changes:

• poetry install
• poetry run mkdocs serve
• Access http://127.0.0.1:8000 - any changes to the sources should be immediately visible in your browser
• Open a PR with your changes or just push them if you have commit rights

Run ./linkcheck.sh to check for broken links. This script uses lychee and requires Docker to be installed.
