What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
The former open-source source of the GitHub Developer documentation site (developer.github.com), built as a static site with Nanoc in Ruby. It was closed-source and archived by GitHub in 2017, so it no longer receives updates or contributions.
Use cases
- study how GitHub structured its API documentation
- reuse the Nanoc-based static site tooling for my own docs site
- browse historical GitHub API v3 documentation source
- learn how a large documentation site was compiled to static files
When to choose
- you want a historical reference for GitHub API docs or their site tooling
- you need inspiration for building a Nanoc-based static documentation site
When to avoid
- you need current GitHub API documentation - use docs.github.com instead
- you want an actively maintained documentation project to contribute to
