Connect Your Codebase

Connecting ReadMe to your codebase keeps your documentation in sync with your code — so your API references, changelogs, and technical content reflect what you've actually shipped.

When your docs live alongside your code, updates flow naturally into your documentation workflow. You can automate publishing, track changes, and ensure that your readers always see accurate, up-to-date content without a separate manual process.

This workflow keeps content consistent across both platforms:

• Write in your preferred environment whether that’s ReadMe or your local development setup.
• Developers, engineers, and technical writers can collaborate using tools they prefer.
• Changes sync automatically between ReadMe and Git creating a single source of truth.

Bi-Directional Sync

Bi-directional sync creates a two-way connection between your ReadMe project and a version control repository. Changes sync automatically between platforms, so your documentation stays consistent whether you're writing in ReadMe or your local development environment.

ReadMe supports bi-directional sync with both GitHub and GitLab.

Connect Your Repository

Sync your documentation with GitHub or GitLab to keep content consistent, automate publishing, and collaborate using the tools your team uses.
