Read the Docs
Connect your Git repository and treat docs like code.
Read the Docs is a documentation building and hosting platform that connects to Git repositories and automates the build, deployment, and versioning of documentation. It supports popular documentation frameworks like Sphinx, MkDocs, and Docusaurus, and offers features such as pull request previews, integrated search, and access control with SSO. The platform serves both commercial engineering teams and open source projects, with a free tier for community use.
Users connect their Git repository and configure a YAML file; Read the Docs automatically builds, hosts, and versions their documentation on every push or pull request.
