+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    make html # (or make clean html for a complete rebuild)
+    
+**Step 3:** Review generated html at: /path/to/docs/_build/html/index.html. Then commit the changes.
+
+.. code-block:: bash   
+   
+    git add .
+    git commit -m "Messages about your changes"
+    git push
