Documentation Updates

Information helpful for contributing simple documentation updates.
  • Documentation for https://karpenter.sh/docs/ is built under website/content/en/preview/.
  • Documentation updates for an unreleased change should be made to the “preview” directory. Your changes will be promoted to website/content/en/docs/ by an automated process at the next release (not when the change merges).
  • Fixes or corrections to already-released documentation should also be applied directly to website/content/en/docs/ (so they appear on the live site before the next release) and backported to every other affected version under website/content/en/ besides the /docs/ folder.
  • Your site is built automatically when you push a change under website/, but the preview is only deployed on request: a maintainer leaves a /karpenter preview review comment on your PR and the preview URL is posted as a comment a few minutes later. Pushing a new commit does not refresh the preview, so ask for another /karpenter preview once you have made changes. The preview is built from the exact commit the maintainer reviewed, so if your most recent commit changes nothing under website/ there is no build to publish — push a website/ change and ask against that commit. Builds are kept for 14 days.
