• Ryan -- giving "Read The Docs" a try (Read The Docs is a free web-service that compiles sphinx documentation from source for you, therefor you don't have to commit the compile output, and just pass them the source. they use web-hooks to pull automatically from public github repositories.) https://fates-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fates_tech_note.html# -- $20/month for readthedocs without ads. Add users-guide that has namelist and parameter file changing.
