Documentation
Bootstrap's documentation, included in this repo in the root directory, is built with Hugo and publicly hosted on GitHub Pages at https://getbootstrap.com/. The docs may also be run locally.
Documentation search is powered by Algolia's DocSearch.
Running documentation locally
- Run
npm installto install the Node.js dependencies, including Hugo (the site builder). - Run
npm run test(or a specific npm script) to rebuild distributed CSS and JavaScript files, as well as our docs assets. - From the root
/bootstrapdirectory, runnpm run docs-servein the command line. - Open
http://localhost:9001/in your browser, and voilà.
Learn more about using Hugo by reading its documentation.
Documentation for previous releases

Previous releases and their documentation are also available for download.

Versioning
For transparency into our release cycle and in striving to maintain backward compatibility, Bootstrap is maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines. Sometimes we screw up, but we adhere to those rules whenever possible.
See the Releases section of our GitHub project for changelogs for each release version of Bootstrap. Release announcement posts on the official Bootstrap blog contain summaries of the most noteworthy changes made in each release.
