Our website is generated based on this repository(apache/incubator-seatunnel-website), but the content of document is hold on our codebase repository. So we have to fetch the document from the codebase repository before we build the document.
Indeed, you could fetch it by your hand, but we provide the more convenience way to do it, the build-docs.sh in directory tools. It will
swap under your project directory, as well docs and static/image_en.swap.incubator-seatunnel/docs/en and incubator-seatunnel/docs/en/image to directory docs and static/image_en.When the main library code is synchronized to the local, HTTP is used by default as the protocol for git to communicate with the server, because it do not requests password or secret key. such as local development where we already have RSA public key, run command export PROTOCOL_MODE=ssh in terminal change protocol to SSH which in is faster and stable in many cases.
After that, you are finish the prepare work, and all resources you need to build our website it there, you could run your npm command to build the website.
Our GitHub Action also use script tools/build-docs.sh to finish its prepare work. Consistent way to prepare and build the website is good for both development and production maintenance.
