Source code

The ownCloud Desktop Client is developed in Git. Since Git makes it easy to fork and improve the source code and to adapt it to your need, many copies can be found on the Internet, in particular on GitHub. However, the authoritative repository maintained by the developers is located at https://github.com/owncloud/client.

Building the Documentation

The documentation has been migrated from Sphinx-Doc to Antora, which is based on the AsciiDoc format. For the moment, it is not possible to generate the client documentation directly, as was previously the case, via a CMake command. Instead, the client documentation is built when the entire ownCloud documentation is built; (this is a combination of the administration, developer, and user, iOS, and Android manuals).

Please note: investigations are underway to see if it can be built both standalone and as as part of the larger documentation bundle. This README will be updated as more information is available.
