Read the Docs VS pages-gem

I went to https://readthedocs.org/ and redirected me to https://about.readthedocs.com/?ref=readthedocs.org which looks proprietary now, with pricing and such.

Is it the end of this project, as we know it?

Can someone enlighten me please?

First things first, sign up on Read the Docs and connect your GitHub account. This allows Read the Docs to access your repositories.

ReadTheDocs - ReadTheDocs hosts documentation for many Django packages. It provides easy access to comprehensive documentation, including installation instructions, configuration guides, and usage examples.

fixes are here: https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/issues/10290

Read the Docs offers free hosting of Sphinx-based documentation. I recommend setting up a basic documentation very early so that you can easily add material when you have something to write about. I also recommend studying The Grand Unified Theory of Documentation, but don't overthink it.

ReadTheDocs: An open-source platform for creating and hosting documentation, with support for multiple programming languages and integration with version control systems.

Well, by now I really invite all the readers to join and read more about the datadelivery Terraform module. There is a huge documentation page hosted on readthedocs with many useful information about how this project can help users on their analytics journey in AWS.

ReadTheDocs is a free way to host your open-source documentation.

They are using this infrastructure as the moat. ReadTheDocs is also doing the same thing.

That "/*/tree" rule means that search engine crawlers are allowed to hit the README file of a repo but effectively NONE of the other files in it.

Which means that if you keep your project documentation on GitHub in a docs/ folder it won't be indexed!

You need to publish it to a separate site via GitHub Pages, or use https://readthedocs.org/

It's super easy to publish a static site like the resume with GitHub Pages. Just check out the docs.

GitHub Pages: Host your static websites directly from your GitHub repository.

As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g. https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/), your normal workflow will simply be to edit markdown and do a git push to make your changes live. There are a number of pre-built themes (e.g. https://themes.gohugo.io/) you can use, and these are realtively straightforward to tweak to your requirements.

Ideal for open source projects, docs sites, and portfolios. GitHub Pages

Github Pages: Link to Github Pages

Once you have all the documentation worked out a place to host it will be necessary. Some documentation generation may have ties in with specific hosting sites. Read The Docs' support for Sphinx and other documentation tools is one example. GitHub pages can be useful for GitHub hosted projects as it integrates well with GitHub Actions CI/CD deployments.

If you use GitHub and need to host a static website, consider GitHub Pages. Free for one site Stored on a GitHub public respository Deploy via web interface, or Git 100GB/month free bandwidth

There are plenty of other hosting options you could use instead, such as GitHub Pages.

Functionally github.io just presents whatever you throw into the repository as the root directory of a site, github themselves host a very good, basic outline of how to set up a site on github.io.
