# Generating Markdown Docs For Your Own cobra.Command
|
|
|
|
## Generate markdown docs for the entire command tree
|
|
|
|
This program can actually generate docs for the kubectl command in the kubernetes project
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"io/ioutil"
|
|
"os"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/pkg/kubectl/cmd"
|
|
"github.com/spf13/cobra"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
kubectl := cmd.NewFactory(nil).NewKubectlCommand(os.Stdin, ioutil.Discard, ioutil.Discard)
|
|
cobra.GenMarkdownTree(kubectl, "./")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will generate a whole series of files, one for each command in the tree, in the directory specified (in this case "./")
|
|
|
|
## Generate markdown docs for a single command
|
|
|
|
You may wish to have more control over the output, or only generate for a single command, instead of the entire command tree. If this is the case you may prefer to `GenMarkdown()` instead of `GenMarkdownTree`
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
out := new(bytes.Buffer)
|
|
cobra.GenMarkdown(cmd, out)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will write the markdown doc for ONLY "cmd" into the out, buffer.
