API Reference Generator for Buildstream Projects

bst-docs

This is a API reference generator in the vein of projects like pydoc or doxygen. The goal is to generate markdown documents which describe elements within a Buildstream Project, ideally for inclusion within hosted documentation.

Usage

To build a documentation folder for a given repo: uv run bst-docs build $REPO_PATH

Or to build a documentation folder for a network repo (clones using your .netrc): uv run bst-docs build $REPO_URL

These commands will produce a folder full of markdown files which can then be imported into the documentation portal of your choosing.

An example zensical.toml has been provided to view the results in ./output, to use: uv run zensical serve
