Hey Andrew—this was a great write-up, thank you for sharing! It's one of the most substantial ReadMe API use cases that I've seen 🤩

Wanted to also make you (and fellow readers!) aware of rdme, which is ReadMe's official CLI and GitHub Action. It's essentially a wrapper around the ReadMe API that allows you to quickly set up workflows for syncing OpenAPI definitions and—similar to your bash script—directories of Markdown files to ReadMe.

Once you have the CLI installed and have your Markdown files ready to go, you'll be able to run commands like this to start syncing your Markdown to ReadMe:

rdme docs ./path-to-folder-containing-markdown
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

We actually dogfood rdme to sync Markdown docs for a few different open-source tools:

While we mostly use ReadMe itself as our primary CMS, we find that it is helpful to use rdme for Markdown that lives near our code—I blogged about this if you'd like to read more about how we use it!

Let me know what you think about rdme—we're always looking for feedback and are continuously making improvements (including some that are right around the corner 👀)

Thanks and take care!
