bootstrap/
├── css/
│ ├── bootstrap.css
│ ├── bootstrap.css.map
│ ├── bootstrap.min.css
│ └── bootstrap.min.css.map
└── js/
├── bootstrap.js

), as well as compiled and minified CSS and JS (bootstrap.min.*

) are available for use with certain browsers' developer tools.

Bootstrap's documentation, included in this repo in the root directory, is built with Jekyll 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. Working on our search? Be sure to set debug: true
in the _scripts.html
include.
- Run through the tooling setup to install Jekyll (the site builder) and other Ruby dependencies with
bundle install
. - Run
npm install
to install Node.js dependencies. - 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
/bootstrap
directory, runbundle exec jekyll serve
in the command line. - Open http://localhost:9001 in your browser, and voilà.
Learn more about using Jekyll by reading its documentation.
Documentation for v2.3.2 has been made available for the time being at https://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/ while folks transition to Bootstrap 3.
Previous releases and their documentation are also available for download.
Please read through our contributing guidelines. Included are directions for opening issues, coding standards, and notes on development.
Moreover, if your pull request contains JavaScript patches or features, you must include relevant unit tests. All HTML and CSS should conform to the Code Guide, maintained by Mark Otto.
