Note:

• • Kindly exclude the command ‘npm install d360 -g &&’ when executing the above command. As this method utilizes the ‘file URL,’ it is imperative to provide the precise URL of the OpenAPI specification file.
  • If the file is stored locally, please substitute the file path URL with the actual location of the file on your machine.
  • In the case of the file being hosted on your GitHub repository, kindly provide the raw URL of the JSON or YAML file.
  • For performing a resync, employ the command ‘d360 apidocs: resync’.

Key Benefits

Real-Time Documentation Updates

With CI/CD Sync, your API documentation automatically reflects the changes made in your codebase in real time. Gone are the days of manually updating your documentation after each code modification. This feature ensures that your developers and other stakeholders always have access to the most accurate and up-to-date documentation, eliminating confusion and reducing the risk of using outdated information.

Improved Collaboration

Effective collaboration is crucial for the success of any development project. CI/CD Sync facilitates smoother communication and collaboration between developers, technical writers, and other team members involved in the documentation process. Providing a shared platform for both code and documentation, fosters a better understanding of the system’s functionality, resulting in enhanced teamwork and streamlined workflows.

Time and Effort Savings

Manually updating API documentation can be a time-consuming and error-prone task. With CI/CD Sync, you can save valuable time and effort by automating this process. Every time your CI/CD pipeline runs, Document360’s integration automatically extracts the relevant information from your codebase and updates the corresponding API documentation. This automation not only eliminates the need for repetitive manual work but also reduces the chances of inconsistencies between the code and documentation.

An intuitive knowledge base software to easily add your content and integrate it with any application. Give Document360 a try!
