Content types

Type	Config key	Description
Markdown	`routes-md`	.md files with `path` per language
HTML	`routes-html`	local `path` or external `url`
Video	`routes-video`	`video.pathVideo`, `video.videoType`
Audio	`routes-audio`	`audio.pathAudio`, `audio.audioType`

Source code viewer

The version config can render a Source code container through routes-source-viewer and menus-header-source-viewer. The viewer reads GitHub repository trees at runtime and applies the current documentation theme.

Repository tree from source-viewer-path; branch defaults to main
Folder navigation and file filtering
GitHub-style directory listing
Code rendering with line numbers
Markdown preview/code toggle, including README.md
Collapsible folders in the sidebar

Config keys (site)

name, defaultLanguage, supportedLanguages
docsVersion, rendering, ThemeDefault, ThemeModeDefault
ProjectLink, layoutsConfigPathOficial, layoutsConfigPath

Environment variables

GITPAGEDOCS_REPOSITORY_SEARCH – repository search (local)
GITHUB_ACTIONS – GitHub Pages build mode

AI assistant

The docs ship an AI assistant in two surfaces: an in-docs chat drawer (the AI chat button in the sidebar, enabled via site.AiChatEnabled) and a dedicated /ai console page.

14 providers via one shared core: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama, Azure OpenAI, Mistral, DeepSeek, Cohere, Groq, xAI, Together, Fireworks, Perplexity.
Model selection — pick from each provider's catalog (gitpagedocs models <provider>) or type a custom id.
Encrypted at rest — your API key is sealed with AES-256-GCM behind a local password (one unlock per session) and is never stored in plaintext or logged. A legacy plaintext key is migrated and wiped on first unlock.
AI documentation generation — gitpagedocs ai scans chosen paths and writes multilingual markdown (pt/en/es); reusable via .gitpagedocsconfig.
