Bugs and feature requests

Have a bug or a feature request? Please first read the issue guidelines and search for existing and closed issues. If your problem or idea is not addressed yet, please open a new issue.

Documentation

Bootstrap’s documentation, included in this repo in the root directory, is built with Astro and publicly hosted on GitHub Pages at . The docs may also be run locally.

Documentation search is powered by Algolia's DocSearch.

Running documentation locally

Run npm install to install the Node.js dependencies, including Astro (the site builder).

Run npm run test (or a specific npm script) to rebuild distributed CSS and JavaScript files, as well as our docs assets.

From the root /bootstrap directory, run npm run docs-serve in the command line.

Open http://localhost:9001/ in your browser, and voilà.

Learn more about using Astro by reading its documentation.

Versioning

For transparency into our release cycle and in striving to maintain backward compatibility, Bootstrap is maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines. Sometimes we screw up, but we adhere to those rules whenever possible.

See the Releases section of our GitHub project for changelogs for each release version of Bootstrap. Release announcement posts on the official Bootstrap blog contain summaries of the most noteworthy changes made in each release.
