# Terraform Documentation
This directory contains the portions of [the Terraform website](https://www.terraform.io/) that pertain to the
core functionality, excluding providers and the overall configuration.
The files in this directory are intended to be used in conjunction with
[the `terraform-website` repository](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-website), which brings all of the
different documentation sources together and contains the scripts for testing and building the site as
a whole.
## Previewing Changes
You should preview all of your changes locally before creating a pull request. The build includes content from this repository and the [`terraform-website`](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-website/) repository, allowing you to preview the entire Terraform documentation site. If `terraform-website` isn't in your `GOPATH`, the preview command will clone it to your machine.
**Set Up Local Environment**
1. [Install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
2. Create a `~/go` directory manually or by [installing Go](https://golang.org/doc/install).
3. Open terminal and set `GOPATH` as an environment variable:
Bash: `export $GOPATH=~/go`(bash)
Zsh: `echo -n 'export GOPATH=~/go' >> ~/.zshrc`
4. Restart your terminal or command line session.
**Launch Site Locally**
1. Navigate into your local `terraform` top-level directory and run `make website`.
2. Open `http://localhost:4567` in your web browser. While the preview is running, you can edit pages and Middleman will automatically rebuild them.
3. When you're done with the preview, press `ctrl-C` in your terminal to stop the server.
