13. Definition • Docs are stored in a version control system (Git) - Sync doc w/ code - Resolve multiple version conflict • Unified collaboration environment (GitHub, GitLab) - Comprehensive ecosystem
14. Definition • Plain text files (AsciiDoc, Markdown) • Writing tools (VS Code, Eclipse, Sublime) - Writer: easy to learn and use - Dev: familiar - Integrate with other tools
15. Definition • Contents are continuously tested, merged with each patch, built, deployed, and published automatically CI: Static site generator (Jekyll, Sphinx, Hugo) CD: Static site deployment tool (Jenkins, Netlify, CircleCI) - Reduce much repetitive and tedious work
