Summary

This PR adds comprehensive CLI reference documentation for redisctl, integrates it into the mdBook documentation structure, and sets up automated deployment to GitHub Pages.

Changes

Documentation Added

  • 46 CLI command reference files covering all commands:

    • Profile commands (list, get, set, remove, default)
    • Smart routing commands (database, user, cluster, account)
    • Cloud commands (19 subcommands including api, subscription, database, backup, acl, etc.)
    • Enterprise commands (14 subcommands including api, bootstrap, cluster, database, etc.)
  • Detailed examples guide (docs/src/cli/examples-detailed.md) with real-world usage scenarios

mdBook Integration

  • All CLI reference documentation moved to docs/src/cli-reference/ for proper mdBook structure
  • Added comprehensive "CLI Command Reference" section to docs/src/SUMMARY.md
  • Integrated detailed examples into the "CLI Usage" section
  • Updated book.toml with correct repository URLs and title
  • Successfully tested with mdbook build

GitHub Pages Deployment

  • New workflow (.github/workflows/mdbook.yml) for automatic deployment
  • mdbook-lint integration for documentation quality checks (informational mode)
  • Builds on all PRs for validation
  • Deploys to GitHub Pages on pushes to main branch
  • Caches mdbook-lint installation for faster CI

Documentation Generation

  • Created automated script (scripts/generate-cli-docs.sh) for future documentation updates
  • Script extracts help text directly from the CLI for accuracy

Testing

  • mdBook builds successfully
  • All links in SUMMARY.md are valid
  • Documentation renders correctly in mdBook
  • GitHub Actions workflow syntax validated
  • Link fragments fixed for proper navigation

GitHub Pages Setup

Once merged, the documentation will be automatically deployed to GitHub Pages:

  1. Go to Settings → Pages
  2. Set Source to "GitHub Actions"
  3. Documentation will be available at https://joshrotenberg.github.io/redisctl/

Local Development

# Install mdBook (if not already installed)
cargo install mdbook

# View documentation locally
cd docs
mdbook serve

# Build documentation
cd docs
mdbook build

# Run linting (optional, informational only)
cargo install mdbook-lint
mdbook-lint lint docs/src --config-format=disabled

- Configuration validated with 'mdbook-lint check'

Thanks to @joshrotenberg for the quick feedback on proper configuration!
- Prevent CI failures due to lint errors during initial setup
- MDBOOK010 errors still appearing despite being disabled (preprocessor may not be picking up config)
- Many internal link validation errors need to be fixed separately
- Remove mdbook-lint as preprocessor due to configuration not being picked up
- Run mdbook-lint as separate CLI step in GitHub Actions (informational only)
- Add MDBOOK002 to disabled rules (false positives on existing files)
- Set continue-on-error for lint step to prevent CI failures
- mdBook now builds successfully without the preprocessor
