download-docs

Batch-download documentation from GitHub repositories by defining manifest configurations that specify sources and exclude patterns, organizing fetched files into output directories. This approach streamlines retrieving multiple docs across sources for local offline use.

HTML-to-Markdown conversion is supported when downloading documentation from direct URLs using pandoc. This optional conversion allows you to standardize fetched web docs into Markdown format for easier integration into local contexts.

Yes, jq and git are required dependencies to parse manifest configurations and fetch documentation sources from GitHub repositories. Pandoc is an optional dependency needed only if you require HTML-to-Markdown conversion for URL manifests.

Organize downloaded documentation by outputting files to output/<manifest-name>/ directories, preserving the source structure. This ensures fetched docs remain structured and easily reusable for local contexts or team catalogs.

Exclude unwanted files during batch-downloads by defining exclude patterns within your manifest configurations. This selective exclusion allows you to filter out specific documentation files while fetching only the required sources.

Engineering teams can refresh local documentation catalogs by re-running manifest configurations to batch-download docs. This updates the output directories with changed files from GitHub repos or URLs for offline reference.
