Development Workflow

This workflow demonstrates the complete terminal command sequence for developing, validating, and deploying intelligent textbook content using MkDocs and Git.

Terminal Setup

Terminal 1 (Development Server): Runs mkdocs serve continuously on localhost:8000

Terminal 2 (Scripts): Execute Python scripts for analysis and validation

Terminal 3 (Git): Version control operations and deployment

Key Commands

1. Start Development Server - mkdocs serve - Auto-reload on file changes
2. Validate Learning Graph - python docs/learning-graph/analyze-graph.py
3. Stage and Commit - git add . && git commit -m "Update chapter content"
4. Push Changes - git push origin main
5. Deploy to GitHub Pages - mkdocs gh-deploy

Quality Checks

Always run validation scripts before committing to ensure:

• Learning graph is a valid DAG (no circular dependencies)
• All concept references are valid
• Taxonomy distribution is balanced
• Markdown syntax is correct
