Artifact 89df7555cb3391ba3fd2564b8123ced379c3eadced81231b714ed17986887901:

• File docs/site/content/docs/reference/cli/repo-branch.md — part of check-in [d7fd910ffc] at 2026-10-23 21:12:43 on branch main — docs: generate the site's data, CLI reference and llms.txt from the code

  tools/docsgen/engine records one check-in as an artifact, as its derived rows and as the cards of a pull, from a real engine run with fixed inputs. tools/docsgen/conformance turns TestCoverage's report into per-draft and per-requirement data. scripts/gen-cli-docs.sh writes one page per command group from the libfossil binary's --help. gen-llms-txt.sh and check-llms-txt.sh are ported from dagnats, and sync-version.sh now takes the highest release tag and writes the go.mod version too.

  scripts/check-docs-generated.sh regenerates everything into a scratch dir and fails on any difference; make docs-check and the test-docs CI job run it. (user: [email protected], size: 1896) [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [more...]
