Getting started

Install and update

Pin a tagged DevLab release and upgrade it without following development changes.
Quick start

Create a minimal site with optional docs, blog, search and feed support.

DevLab is a Zola-native theme for documentation, release updates and developer sites. Start with a tagged release, then add only the content sections your site needs.

Pick a path

Use Install and update to choose how the theme is stored, pin a release and upgrade it safely.

Continue with Quick start when the theme is installed. It provides a complete zola.toml and minimal Home, Docs and Blog content.

Requirements

Zola 0.23.1 or newer
Git when using a clone or submodule
A text editor

DevLab has no Node.js, npm or external frontend runtime dependency.

Continue after setup

Use the Configuration reference for every supported setting and default.
Keep project identity and overrides outside the installed theme with Customization.
Build recursive documentation with the Docs navigation guide.
Use generic content layouts outside Docs, Blog and Downloads.
Add reusable content from the Tera components reference.
Follow Troubleshooting when a section or interface feature is missing.
