## Notes

Mintlify is a hosted documentation platform that builds sites from MDX files kept in a Git repository. Changes reach the site by committing and pushing to that repository. The `mint` command-line tool, installed from npm, starts a local preview of a site on the developer's machine.

## Worth knowing

The public `mintlify/docs` repository holds the company's own documentation content, not the software. The npm package `mintlify` is an older name for the CLI, and the install docs say not to install it in scripts or CI.
