API Connect Toolkit CLI Documentation

This website is built using Docusaurus 2, a modern static website generator.

The website is published here: https://ibm-apiconnect.github.io/clidocs/

Doc generation

The makes for each individual command are generated using the apic CLI downloaded from the API Manager of a stack of an appropriate version. Make sure you are using the release branch correct for that version. Then run apic docs -m {mode} to create a docs subdirectory with the markdown files in it. Then copy those to the right place in the clidocs tree, and run it again for a different mode, repeat until you have worked your way through all the modes.

Don't forget to git add any new files for new commands that have been added.
