Quickstart

Start building beautiful documentation in under 5 minutes

Docs cascade

With Fern, you can build beautiful developer documentation that matches your brand. Fern supports writing pages (written in Markdown) and generating API Reference documentation (from an OpenAPI Specification).

In this guide, we’ll show you how to get started with Fern in under 5 minutes.

1

Initialize your fern folder

All the configuration for your docs lives in the fern folder. Inside you’ll find a docs.yml file that contains all the settings for your documentation.

2

Update your docs

We provide a white-glove migration service as part of our Enterprise plan. Interested? Request it here.

3

Publish to production

Below are some examples of documentation websites that have been published using Fern:
