CSS & JS Minifier documentation

This directory holds the documentation of the CSS & JS Minifier VS Code extension. It is published as the documentation site. The user guide comes first, the pages for contributors are at the end.

User guide

For people who want to install and use the extension.

  • INSTALL.md: install from the VS Code Marketplace, Open VSX (coming soon) or a .vsix file, then update and uninstall.
  • QUICK-START.md: minify a first file in about a minute.
  • COMMANDS-AND-SHORTCUTS.md: the two commands, the menus and the keyboard shortcuts for Windows, Linux and macOS.
  • CONFIGURATION.md: the five settings, with ready-to-copy settings.json snippets.
  • EXAMPLES.md: real before and after for CSS and JavaScript, with measured sizes.
  • FAQ.md: short answers to common questions.
  • TROUBLESHOOTING.md: what to try when something fails, and how to report a bug.

For contributors

For people who change the extension, its tests or its translations.

  • Main README: the short overview of the extension.
  • CHANGELOG: version history.
  • CONTRIBUTING: contributor onboarding, PR checklist, branch protection.
  • AGENTS.md: agent-oriented reference (release flow, git hooks, ruleset, cross-platform CI matrix).
  • Publishing runbook: maintainer-only release runbook.

How the site is built

The site is built with docs-sitekit from the Markdown files in this directory and from CHANGELOG.md. The pages, their groups and their order, and the home page text, are set in site/sitekit.config.json. A new Markdown file in this directory must be added to a group there, or the build fails.

The two animated demos used in the guide live in images/ and are copied to site/public/docs/images/, so the same relative link (../images/minify.gif) works on GitHub and on the site. Update both copies when a demo changes.
