This folder generates the API docs for Terminal.Gui.
The API documentation is generated using the [DocFX tool](https://github.com/dotnet/docfx). The output of docfx gets put into the `./docs` folder which is then checked in. The `./docs` folder is then picked up by Github Pages and published to Miguel's Github Pages (https://migueldeicaza.github.io/gui.cs/).
The API documentation is generated via a GitHub Action (`.github/workflows/api-docs.yml`) using [DocFX](https://github.com/dotnet/docfx). The Action publishes the docs to the `gh-pages` branch, which gets published to https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/.

Note the `./docfx/build.ps1` script will create a `./docs` folder. This folder is ignored by `.gitignore`.
