DocsLit Cloud

Deployment•3 min read||

DocsLit Cloud is a managed hosting service for your documentation. Build and deploy with a single command — no hosting configuration, no CI/CD setup, no infrastructure management.

Get started

npx docslit login

This opens your browser to authenticate. Your token is stored securely at ~/.docslit/config.json.

 npx docslit publish

DocsLit builds your site, compresses it, and uploads it to the cloud. Your docs are live in seconds.

Commands

Authenticate with DocsLit Cloud. Opens a browser window for OAuth sign-in. Build and deploy your documentation. Runs build internally, then uploads the result. List all your published documentation projects. Display the currently authenticated user. Restore the previous deployment for a project. Remove a published project from DocsLit Cloud.

How it works

When you run docslit publish:

  1. DocsLit runs a full build of your site
  2. The dist/ directory is compressed using fflate
  3. The compressed archive is uploaded to the DocsLit Cloud API
  4. Your site is live at your project URL
Auth tokens are stored at ~/.docslit/config.json with file permissions set to 0o600 (owner read/write only). Tokens are never stored in your project directory or committed to git.
