## Overview

This repository contains TFGrid docs in the form of mdbooks generated with the [Hero](https://github.com/freeflowuniverse/crystallib/tree/development/cli/hero) tool.

To see the whole list of books, check the [heroscript directory](https://git.ourworld.tf/tfgrid/info_tfgrid/src/branch/main/heroscript).

## Basic Hero mdBook Commands

Once Hero is set on your machine, you can run the following commands to preview mdbooks on your local browser:

- Pull new changes
    ```
    hero mdbook -u https://git.ourworld.tf/tfgrid/info_tfgrid/src/branch/main/heroscript/nameofyourbook -gp
    ```

- Build the book
    ```
    hero mdbook -u https://git.ourworld.tf/tfgrid/info_tfgrid/src/branch/main/heroscript/nameofyourbook
    ```
- Preview on a web browser
    ```
    hero mdbook -u https://git.ourworld.tf/tfgrid/info_tfgrid/src/branch/main/heroscript/nameofyourbook -o
    ```

> Note: You can use -p instead of -u and set a path to your heroscript directory, as explained in the [docs](https://git.ourworld.tf/tfgrid/info_tfgrid/src/branch/main/docs).

## Install and Use Hero

install hero as follows

```bash
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freeflowuniverse/crystallib/development/scripts/installer_hero.sh | bash /tmp/hero_install.sh
```

you can also do it on a VM (experts only)

To install and use Hero on a full VM running on the grid, read the [full VM guide](https://git.ourworld.tf/tfgrid/info_tfgrid/src/branch/main/docs/hero_mdbook_fullvm.md).

## Create a New mdBook 

To create a new mdbook, read the [mdbook creation guide](https://git.ourworld.tf/tfgrid/info_tfgrid/src/branch/main/docs/hero_create_mdbook.md).

### Overview

- The production-ready content is published on the **main** branch
- The staging content is published on the **development** branch
- Any changes to development must go through a pull request (PR) and its associated review from a different branch with the prefix `development_`. 
  - The name of the branch should indicate the work being done, e.g. working on the readme, `development_readme_work`
- Once staging is done on development, the code owners will merge development branch to main branch.
  - The mdbooks will be updated online.

### Content Update Procedure

- Create new branch out of development (e.g. `development_work`)
- Make changes to the files
- Make a PR to merge to development
  - Get reviewed and adjust accordingly
- PR is approved and the content is merged to development
- Code owners will merge development to main to update the books online
