ReadMe

Hosted developer documentation platform that publishes API references and guides, with the rdme CLI for syncing API definitions.

ReadMe is a hosted developer documentation platform for API references and guides. Its open-source companion is rdme, ReadMe’s official command-line interface, which is installed with npm and run on a developer’s machine or in a CI pipeline. The repository holds the CLI only; the platform itself is hosted.

Worth knowing

The docs say rdme@10 serves projects on ReadMe Refactored and rdme@9 serves projects not yet migrated, so the major version recorded applies to the Refactored platform.
