# Website & Docs
This website is built using [Docusaurus 3.0](https://docusaurus.io/), a modern static website generator.
## Information Architecture
We try to **keep routes consistent** to maintain SEO.
- **`/guides/`**: Guides on how to use the Jan application. For end users who are directly using Jan.
- **`/developer/`**: Developer docs on how to extend Jan. These pages are about what people can build with our software.
- **`/api-reference/`**: Reference documentation for the Jan API server, written in Swagger/OpenAPI format.
- **`/changelog/`**: A list of changes made to the Jan application with each release.
- **`/blog/`**: A blog for the Jan application.

### Installation

```
```bash
yarn install && yarn start
```
This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.
### Build
```bash
yarn build
```
This command generates static content into the `build` directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.
### Deployment
Using SSH:
```bash
USE_SSH=true yarn deploy
```
Not using SSH:
```bash
GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy
```
If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the `gh-pages` branch.
### Preview URL, Pre-release and Publishing Documentation
- When a pull request is created, the preview URL will be automatically commented on the pull request.
- The documentation will then be published to [https://dev.jan.ai/](https://dev.jan.ai/) when the pull request is merged to `main`.
- Our open-source maintainers will sync the updated content from `main` to `release` branch, which will then be published to [https://jan.ai/](https://jan.ai/).
