How I Built This Wiki

When my project library started growing, I realized that a standard HTML website wasn't the best place to host technical documentation. I needed a space that allowed me to write in Markdown and automatically handled the navigation, search, and mobile responsiveness.

This guide explains how I integrated MkDocs into my existing website.

🏗️ The Tech Stack

To build this, I used: * MkDocs: A static site generator geared towards project documentation. * Material for MkDocs: A powerful theme that provides the search bar, sidebar, and dark mode. * Python/Pip: To manage the MkDocs installation. * GitHub Pages: For hosting the final files. This project assumes you have Python3 installed which allows you to use pip to install the required packages.
