title: 'Contribute to Bazel documentation'
---

Thank you for contributing to Bazel's documentation!

## How docs work

Bazel documentation lives in two repositories:

- [`bazelbuild/bazel`](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel) — all doc content in the `docs/` folder. This is where you make changes.
- [`bazel-contrib/bazel-docs`](https://github.com/bazel-contrib/bazel-docs) — the hosting and navigation layer (Mintlify config, sidebar, PR previews).

Content changes always go to `bazelbuild/bazel`. Navigation changes go to `bazel-contrib/bazel-docs`.

## Contributing

- **Make a change or add a page** — see [Docs contribution workflow](/contribute/docs-contribution-workflow) for step-by-step instructions, from a quick typo fix to adding a new page.
- **Update the sidebar navigation** — see [Update the docs navigation](/contribute/docs-navigation) for instructions on adding your new page to the left-hand nav in `bazel-contrib/bazel-docs`.
