Auto generation of markdown docs!
An example from the kubernetes project, for the `kubectl config`
command, which as subcommands, and flags, and all sorts of stuff, it
will generate markdown like so:
config modifies .kubeconfig files
config modifies .kubeconfig files using subcommands like "kubectl config set current-context my-context"
```
kubectl config SUBCOMMAND
```
```
--envvar=false: use the .kubeconfig from $KUBECONFIG
--global=false: use the .kubeconfig from /home/username
-h, --help=false: help for config
--kubeconfig="": use a particular .kubeconfig file
--local=false: use the .kubeconfig in the current directory
```
```
--alsologtostderr=false: log to standard error as well as files
--api-version="": The API version to use when talking to the server
-a, --auth-path="": Path to the auth info file. If missing, prompt the user. Only used if using https.
--certificate-authority="": Path to a cert. file for the certificate authority.
--client-certificate="": Path to a client key file for TLS.
--client-key="": Path to a client key file for TLS.
--cluster="": The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use
--context="": The name of the kubeconfig context to use
--insecure-skip-tls-verify=false: If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure.
--log_backtrace_at=:0: when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace
--log_dir=: If non-empty, write log files in this directory
--log_flush_frequency=5s: Maximum number of seconds between log flushes
--logtostderr=true: log to standard error instead of files
--match-server-version=false: Require server version to match client version
--namespace="": If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request.
--password="": Password for basic authentication to the API server.
-s, --server="": The address and port of the Kubernetes API server
--stderrthreshold=2: logs at or above this threshold go to stderr
--token="": Bearer token for authentication to the API server.
--user="": The name of the kubeconfig user to use
--username="": Username for basic authentication to the API server.
--v=0: log level for V logs
--validate=false: If true, use a schema to validate the input before sending it
--vmodule=: comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
```
* [kubectl](kubectl.md) - kubectl controls the Kubernetes cluster manager
* [kubectl config set](kubectl_config_set.md) - Sets an individual value in a .kubeconfig file
* [kubectl config set-cluster](kubectl_config_set-cluster.md) - Sets a cluster entry in .kubeconfig
* [kubectl config set-context](kubectl_config_set-context.md) - Sets a context entry in .kubeconfig
* [kubectl config set-credentials](kubectl_config_set-credentials.md) - Sets a user entry in .kubeconfig
* [kubectl config unset](kubectl_config_unset.md) - Unsets an individual value in a .kubeconfig file
* [kubectl config use-context](kubectl_config_use-context.md) - Sets the current-context in a .kubeconfig file
* [kubectl config view](kubectl_config_view.md) - displays merged .kubeconfig settings or a specified .kubeconfig file.

# Generating Markdown Docs For Your Own cobra.Command
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate markdown docs for the entire command tree
|
||||
|
||||
This program can actually generate docs for the kubectl command in the kubernetes project
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
package main
|
||||
|
||||
import (
|
||||
"io/ioutil"
|
||||
"os"
|
||||
|
||||
"github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/pkg/kubectl/cmd"
|
||||
"github.com/spf13/cobra"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
kubectl := cmd.NewFactory(nil).NewKubectlCommand(os.Stdin, ioutil.Discard, ioutil.Discard)
|
||||
cobra.GenMarkdownTree(kubectl, "./")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will generate a whole series of files, one for each command in the tree, in the directory specified (in this case "./")
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate markdown docs for a single command
|
||||
|
||||
You may wish to have more control over the output, or only generate for a single command, instead of the entire command tree. If this is the case you may prefer to `GenMarkdown()` instead of `GenMarkdownTree`
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
out := new(bytes.Buffer)
|
||||
cobra.GenMarkdown(cmd, out)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will write the markdown doc for ONLY "cmd" into the out, buffer.
