react/react-native-website

This repository contains the source code for the React Native website and documentation. When you visit reactnative.dev to learn how to build mobile apps, everything you read there comes from the files in this project. It's essentially the content and configuration that powers the official hub for React Native learning resources. The site is built using Docusaurus, a tool that takes plain text files written in Markdown and turns them into a polished, navigable website. Most of the content lives in folders sorted by topic, like guides, APIs, and architecture. A key feature is versioning: every time a new version of React Native is released, the current documentation gets snapshot-style saved. This lets developers go back and read the docs for any specific older release, which is critical when maintaining an app built on a previous version. The people who use this repo are primarily contributors who want to fix typos, clarify confusing explanations, or add new guides to the official documentation. For example, if a developer discovered a tricky step in the setup process that isn't well explained, they could edit the relevant text file here and submit those changes for review. It's also used by maintainers who need to cut a new version of the docs to coincide with a new software release. The project is notably open to community contributions, with a detailed style guide and step-by-step instructions for submitting changes. The actual software code for React Native lives in a completely separate repository, so this one is strictly focused on words, layout, and documentation. The content is shared under a Creative Commons license, meaning anyone can freely use and adapt the written guides as long as they provide attribution.
