Folder structure for documentation | GitLab Docs

Folder structure for documentation

The documentation is separated by top-level audience folders user, administration, and development (contributing) folders.

Beyond that, we primarily follow the structure of the GitLab user interface or API.

Our goal is to have a clear hierarchical structure with meaningful URLs like docs.gitlab.com/user/project/merge_requests/. With this pattern, you can immediately tell that you are navigating to user-related documentation about project features; specifically about merge requests. Our site’s paths match those of our repository, so the clear structure also makes documentation easier to update.

Put files for a specific product area into the related folder:

Directory Contents doc/user/ Documentation for users. Anything that can be done in the GitLab user interface goes here, including usage of the /admin interface. doc/administration/ Documentation that requires the user to have access to the server where GitLab is installed. Administrator settings in the GitLab user interface are under doc/administration/. doc/api/ Documentation for the API. doc/development/ Documentation related to the development of GitLab, whether contributing code or documentation. Related process and style guides should go here. doc/legal/ Legal documents about contributing to GitLab. doc/install/ Instructions for installing GitLab. doc/update/ Instructions for updating GitLab. doc/tutorials/ Tutorials for how to use GitLab.

The following are legacy or deprecated folders. Do not add new content to these folders:

Work with directories and files

When working with directories and files:

  1. When you create a new directory, always start with an _index.md file. Don’t use another filename and do not create README.md files.
  2. Do not use special characters and spaces, or capital letters in file names, directory names, branch names, and anything that generates a path.
  3. When creating or renaming a file or directory and it has more than one word in its name, use underscores (_) instead of spaces or dashes. For example, proper naming would be import_project/import_from_github.md. This applies to both image files and Markdown files.
  4. Do not upload video files to the product repositories. Link or embed videos instead.
  5. In the doc/user/ directory:
  6. In the doc/administration/ directory: all administrator-related documentation for administrators, including admin tasks done in both the UI and on the backend servers.

If you’re unsure where to place a document or a content addition, this shouldn’t stop you from authoring and contributing. Use your best judgment, and then ask the reviewer of your MR to confirm your decision. You can also ask a technical writer at any stage in the process. The technical writing team reviews all documentation changes, regardless, and can move content if there is a better place for it.

Avoid duplication when possible

When possible, do not include the same information in multiple places. Link to a single source of truth instead.

For example, if you have code in a repository other than the primary repositories, and documentation in the same repository, you can keep the documentation in that repository.

Then you can either:
