# Documentation site architecture
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Learn how we build and architecture [`gitlab-docs`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gitlab-docs)
|
|
|
|
|
and deploy it to <https://docs.gitlab.com>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While the source of the documentation content is stored in GitLab's respective product
|
|
|
|
|
repositories, the source that is used to build the documentation site _from that content_
|
2019-03-02 22:35:43 +05:30
|
|
|
is located at <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gitlab-docs>. See the README there for
|

detailed information.

## Assets
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To provide an optimized site structure, design, and a search-engine friendly
|
|
|
|
|
website, along with a discoverable documentation, we use a few assets for
|
|
|
|
|
the GitLab Documentation website.
