Docsy is a Hugo theme for technical documentation sites, providing easy site navigation, structure, and more. This Docsy Example Project uses the Docsy theme, as well as providing a skeleton documentation structure for you to use. You can either copy this project and edit it with your own content, or use the theme in your projects like any other Hugo theme.
This Docsy Example Project is hosted at https://example.docsy.dev/.
You can find detailed theme instructions in the Docsy user guide: https://docsy.dev/docs/
This is not an officially supported Google product. This project is currently maintained.
The following will give you a project that is set up and ready to use (don't forget to use --recurse-submodules or you won't pull down some of the code you need to generate a working site). The hugo server command builds and serves the site. If you just want to build the site, run hugo instead.
git clone --recurse-submodules --depth 1 https://github.com/google/docsy-example.git
cd docsy-example
hugo serverThe theme is included as a Git submodule:
