Documentation for a tool to help students make informed financial decisions about college.

The code for this tool is no longer maintained in this repository and has been ported to the cfgov-refresh repo.
The repository is maintained to preserve our specifications for using the tool.

The documentation for this repository is rendered via GitHub pages. They can be edited in the docs/ directory, but to view them locally or deploy them, you'll need to switch to the deprecated master branch and install the docs dependencies listed in setup.py:

pip install -e '.[docs]'

You can then preview your changes locally by running mkdocs serve and then reviewing http://127.0.0.1:8000/

README changes can be submitted as a pull request. After that, you can use this command to publish them:

mkdocs gh-deploy --clean

That pushes the necessary files to the gh-pages branch, which is now the default branch.

• The mkdocs gh-deploy command will push any edits you've made locally to the gh-pages branch of the repository, whether you've committed them or not.
• Mkdocs will create a "site" directory locally when you use either build, serve or gh-deploy. This is used to assemble assets to be pushed to the gh-pages branch, but the site/ directory itself doesn't need to be under version control. It can be deleted after a deploy.
