Developer reference
Setup, architecture, APIs, extension points, configuration, and testing in docs/DEVELOPER.md.
Standalone documentation automation
Docs that move with the code.
Vendor one GitHub Action into a repository and continuously generate a developer reference, an end-user guide, and a NotebookLM-ready source.
two audiencesDeveloper and end-user documentation stay separate.

What it produces
Useful output, already organized.
Docforge inspects the repository context you select and writes predictable Markdown artifacts back to the project.
User guide
Features, task-oriented instructions, examples, and troubleshooting in docs/USER_GUIDE.md.
NotebookLM source
A combined, attributed source in docs/NOTEBOOKLM.md, with optional direct upload.
Quick install
Add it from the project root.
The installer adds Docforge as vendor/docforge, creates configuration, and installs the workflow.
Terminal
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nikolareljin/docforge/main/install.sh | bash
# review generated configuration before committing
git diff -- .gitmodules .docforge.yml .github/workflows/docs.ymlReview remote scripts before piping them to a shell. The manual submodule installation provides the same result step by step.
Provider choice
Hosted, local, or compatible.
The default GitHub Models provider uses the workflow token. Other providers use their own secret or local endpoint.
Zero-secret default
GitHub Models receives GITHUB_TOKEN automatically from the Actions runner.
Hosted alternatives
Use Groq, Anthropic, Together, OpenRouter, Bedrock, or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Local inference
Choose Ollama for local runs where repository context must stay on your machine.
