7. Developer Documentation

Under construction.

This section of OpenFAST documentation is directed at developers, e.g., those who will be adding new modules, improving existing modules, fixing bugs, etc. The OpenFAST software repository is on github.com, and we ask that developers make contributions through “pull requests” as described in Section 7.2. OpenFAST documentation is posted on readthedocs.com; that documentation is generated automatically from both the master and dev branches on github.com whenever new material is committed. However, documentation can be generated on a local machine as described in Section 7.3. Note that on the readthedocs.com site, one can build a PDF of the documentation (click on lower left corner for options).
