**Title**: **Create a documentation site for your Python API using Sphinx and Github Actions**

**Description**: You have built an awesome API, it’s time for some exposure! How do you create a documentation website and keep it up-to-date as your code evolves? This workshop will teach you how to write, generate, host and update your documentation automatically, so it becomes part of your software development lifecycle!

To build a documentation website from scratch, we will be using Sphinx – a powerful documentation generation tool that makes it easy to keep your API docs in sync with your code.

You will learn how to:

* generate documentation from your Python code
* customize the appearance of your website
* host your documentation on GitHub Pages
* automate the building and deployment of your documentation using Github Actions at the click of a button!

When you’re done, you’ll have a website that looks like [this](https://aelsayed95.github.io/the-office/10-automating-versioning/index.html)!

We recommend you bring your own laptop to be able to follow along. If you can’t bring one, no worries! We will pair you up with someone who does. 💻
