Documentation sync
The user guide at
gdex-docs-dsupdt.readthedocs.io is
generated from src/rda_python_dsupdt/dsupdt.usg. Keep all user-facing content
in dsupdt.usg — no manual RST editing is required.
When a pull request modifying dsupdt.usg is opened, an automated workflow
converts it into RST source files and the version number from this repository's
pyproject.toml into the
gdex-docs-dsupdt repository, then
opens a pull request from automated-update-branch against its main branch for
review.
To publish to Read the Docs:
- Merge that pull request into
mainto serve the content as thelatestversion. - Create a GitHub release in
gdex-docs-dsupdtto serve the latest release as thestableversion.
