# Adding a git repository
|
||
|
||
If your documentation is related to source code, Material for MkDocs provides
|
||
the ability to display information to the project's repository as part of the
|
||
static site, including stars and forks. Furthermore, the
|
||
[date of last update and creation], as well as [contributors] can be shown.
|
||
|
||
## Configuration
|
||
|
||
### Repository
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:version 0.1.0 -->
|
||
<!-- md:default none -->
|
||
|
||
In order to display a link to the repository of your project as part of your
|
||
documentation, set [`repo_url`][repo_url] in `mkdocs.yml` to the public URL of
|
||
your repository, e.g.:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
repo_url: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The link to the repository will be rendered next to the search bar on big
|
||
screens and as part of the main navigation drawer on smaller screen sizes.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, for public repositories hosted on [GitHub] or [GitLab], the
|
||
latest release tag[^1], as well as the number of stars and forks, are
|
||
automatically requested and rendered.
|
||
|
||
[^1]:
|
||
Unfortunately, GitHub only provides an API endpoint to obtain the [latest
|
||
release] - not the latest tag. Thus, make sure to [create a release] (not
|
||
pre-release) for the latest tag you want to display next to the number of
|
||
stars and forks. For GitLab, although it is possible to get a [list of tags
|
||
sorted by update time], the [equivalent API endpoint] is used. So, make sure
|
||
you also [create a release for GitLab repositories].
|
||
|
||
[repo_url]: https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/#repo_url
|
||
[latest release]: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/releases#get-the-latest-release
|
||
[create a release]: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/managing-releases-in-a-repository#creating-a-release
|
||
[list of tags sorted by update time]: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/tags.html#list-project-repository-tags
|
||
[equivalent API endpoint]: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/releases/#get-the-latest-release
|
||
[create a release for GitLab repositories]: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/releases/#create-a-release
|
||
|
||
#### Repository name
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:version 0.1.0 -->
|
||
<!-- md:default _automatically set to_ `GitHub`, `GitLab` _or_ `Bitbucket` -->
|
||
|
||
MkDocs will infer the source provider by examining the URL and try to set the
|
||
_repository name_ automatically. If you wish to customize the name, set
|
||
[`repo_name`][repo_name] in `mkdocs.yml`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
repo_name: squidfunk/mkdocs-material
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
[repo_name]: https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/#repo_name
|
||
|
||
#### Repository icon
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:version 5.0.0 -->
|
||
<!-- md:default computed -->
|
||
|
||
While the default repository icon is a generic git icon, it can be set to
|
||
any icon bundled with the theme by referencing a valid icon path in
|
||
`mkdocs.yml`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
theme:
|
||
icon:
|
||
repo: fontawesome/brands/git-alt # (1)!
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
1. Enter a few keywords to find the perfect icon using our [icon search] and
|
||
click on the shortcode to copy it to your clipboard:
|
||
|
||
<div class="mdx-iconsearch" data-mdx-component="iconsearch">
|
||
<input class="md-input md-input--stretch mdx-iconsearch__input" placeholder="Search icon" data-mdx-component="iconsearch-query" value="git" />
|
||
<div class="mdx-iconsearch-result" data-mdx-component="iconsearch-result" data-mdx-mode="file">
|
||
<div class="mdx-iconsearch-result__meta"></div>
|
||
<ol class="mdx-iconsearch-result__list"></ol>
|
||
</div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
Some popular choices:
|
||
|
||
- :fontawesome-brands-git: – `fontawesome/brands/git`
|
||
- :fontawesome-brands-git-alt: – `fontawesome/brands/git-alt`
|
||
- :fontawesome-brands-github: – `fontawesome/brands/github`
|
||
- :fontawesome-brands-github-alt: – `fontawesome/brands/github-alt`
|

|
||
#### Code actions
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:version 9.0.0 -->
|
||
<!-- md:feature -->
|
||
|
||
If the [repository URL] points to a valid [GitHub], [GitLab] or [Bitbucket]
|
||
repository, [MkDocs] provides a setting called [`edit_uri`][edit_uri], which
|
||
resolves to the subfolder where your documentation is hosted.
|
||
|
||
If your default branch is called `main`, change the setting to:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
edit_uri: edit/main/docs/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
After making sure that `edit_uri` is correctly configured, buttons for code
|
||
actions can be added. Two types of code actions are supported: `edit` and `view`
|
||
(GitHub only):
|
||
|
||
=== ":material-file-edit-outline: Edit this page"
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
theme:
|
||
features:
|
||
- content.action.edit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
=== ":material-file-eye-outline: View source of this page"
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
theme:
|
||
features:
|
||
- content.action.view
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The icon of the edit and view buttons can be changed with the following lines:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
theme:
|
||
icon:
|
||
edit: material/pencil # (1)!
|
||
view: material/eye
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
1. Enter a few keywords to find the perfect icon using our [icon search] and
|
||
click on the shortcode to copy it to your clipboard:
|
||
|
||
<div class="mdx-iconsearch" data-mdx-component="iconsearch">
|
||
<input class="md-input md-input--stretch mdx-iconsearch__input" placeholder="Search icon" data-mdx-component="iconsearch-query" value="material pencil" />
|
||
<div class="mdx-iconsearch-result" data-mdx-component="iconsearch-result" data-mdx-mode="file">
|
||
<div class="mdx-iconsearch-result__meta"></div>

### Revisioning
|
||
|
||
The following plugins are fully integrated with Material for MkDocs, allowing
|
||
for showing the [date of last update and creation] of a document, as well as
|
||
links to all [contributors] or [authors] involved.
|
||
|
||
[date of last update and creation]: #document-dates
|
||
[contributors]: #document-contributors
|
||
[authors]: #document-authors
|
||
|
||
#### Document dates
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:version 4.6.0 -->
|
||
<!-- md:plugin [git-revision-date-localized] -->
|
||
|
||
The [git-revision-date-localized] plugin adds support for adding the date of
|
||
last update and creation of a document at the bottom of each page. Install it
|
||
with `pip`:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
pip install mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then, add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
plugins:
|
||
- git-revision-date-localized:
|
||
enable_creation_date: true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The following configuration options are supported:
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:option git-revision-date-localized.enabled -->
|
||
|
||
: <!-- md:default `true` --> This option specifies whether
|
||
the plugin is enabled when building your project. If you want to switch
|
||
the plugin off, e.g. for local builds, use an [environment variable]:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
plugins:
|
||
- git-revision-date-localized:
|
||
enabled: !ENV [CI, false]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:option git-revision-date-localized.type -->
|
||
|
||
: <!-- md:default `date` --> The format of the date to be
|
||
displayed. Valid values are `date`, `datetime`, `iso_date`, `iso_datetime`
|
||
and `timeago`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
plugins:
|
||
- git-revision-date-localized:
|
||
type: date
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:option git-revision-date-localized.enable_creation_date -->
|
||
|
||
: <!-- md:default `false` --> Enables the display of the
|
||
creation date of the file associated with the page next to the last updated
|
||
date at the bottom of the page:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
plugins:
|
||
- git-revision-date-localized:
|
||
enable_creation_date: true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
!!! note "When using build environments"
|
||
|
||
If you are deploying through a CI system, you might need to adjust your
|
||
CI settings when fetching the code. For more information, see
|
||
[git-revision-date-localized].
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:option git-revision-date-localized.fallback_to_build_date -->
|
||
|
||
: <!-- md:default `false` --> Enables falling back to
|
||
the time when `mkdocs build` was executed. Can be used as a fallback when
|
||
the build is performed outside of a git repository:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
plugins:
|
||
- git-revision-date-localized:
|
||
fallback_to_build_date: true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The other configuration options of this extension are not officially supported
|
||
by Material for MkDocs, which is why they may yield unexpected results. Use
|
||
them at your own risk.

#### Document contributors
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:version 9.5.0 -->
|
||
<!-- md:plugin [git-committers] -->
|
||
<!-- md:flag experimental -->
|
||
|
||
The [git-committers][^2] plugin renders the GitHub avatars of all contributors,
|
||
linking to their GitHub profiles at the bottom of each page. As always, it can
|
||
be installed with `pip`:
|
||
|
||
[^2]:
|
||
We currently recommend using a fork of the [git-committers] plugin, as it
|
||
contains many improvements that have not yet been merged back into the
|
||
original plugin. See byrnereese/mkdocs-git-committers-plugin#12 for more
|
||
information.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
pip install mkdocs-git-committers-plugin-2
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then, add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
plugins:
|
||
- git-committers:
|
||
repository: squidfunk/mkdocs-material
|
||
branch: main
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The following configuration options are supported:
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:option git-committers.enabled -->
|
||
|
||
: <!-- md:default `true` --> This option specifies whether
|
||
the plugin is enabled when building your project. If you want to switch
|
||
the plugin off, e.g. for local builds, use an [environment variable]:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
plugins:
|
||
- git-committers:
|
||
enabled: !ENV [CI, false]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:option git-committers.repository -->
|
||
|
||
: <!-- md:default none --> <!-- md:flag required -->
|
||
This property must be set to the slug of the repository that contains your
|
||
documentation. The slug must follow the pattern `<username>/<repository>`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
plugins:
|
||
- git-committers:
|
||
repository: squidfunk/mkdocs-material
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:option git-committers.branch -->
|
||
|
||
: <!-- md:default `master` --> This property should be set to
|
||
the branch of the repository from which to retrieve the contributors. To use the `main` branch:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
plugins:
|
||
- git-committers:
|
||
branch: main
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The other configuration options of this extension are not officially supported
|
||
by Material for MkDocs, which is why they may yield unexpected results. Use
|
||
them at your own risk.

#### Document authors
|
||
|
||
<!-- md:version 9.5.0 -->
|
||
<!-- md:plugin [git-authors] -->
|
||
<!-- md:flag experimental -->
|
||
|
||
The [git-authors] plugin is a lightweight alternative to the
|
||
[git-committers] plugin and extracts the authors of a document from git to display
|
||
them at the bottom of each page.
|
||
|
||
Material for MkDocs offers deep integration for [git-authors]. This means the
|
||
[customized overrides](https://timvink.github.io/mkdocs-git-authors-plugin/usage.html#mkdocs-material-theme)
|
||
are not necessary, and additional styling (such as nice icons) are added.
|
||
Simply install it with `pip`:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
pip install mkdocs-git-authors-plugin
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then, add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
plugins:
|
||
- git-authors
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
