Aggregation of Different Documentations

Something interesting that I found recently - an aggregation of different documentations

https://devdocs.io

It was built by Thibaut - https://github.com/Thibaut/devdocs . You can read about it in Thibaut Courouble’s Website over here - https://thibaut.me/projects/#devdocs

As of this writing - it’s operated by freeCodeCamp - https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/devdocs . You can see how https://github.com/Thibaut/devdocs redirects to https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/devdocs

This is similar to hosting online man (manual) pages for multiple tools, commands etc out there, which is kind of an aggregation of manuals aka documentations

But yeah, I’m not sure how good they are at keeping the aggregated information up to date with the source of truth, more like, almost the source of truth, not exactly the source of truth, which is the official documentation. Sometimes even official documentations are wrong, so, which is the source of truth? The Software Source Code of the particular version of Software you are using :) Be it a tool, a system, a library, a frontend app, a backend server, a mobile app, a desktop app, an embedded app, anything. Source Code (correct version) is The Source Of Truth
