Overview
Concrete tool for aggregating multi-repository Triton documentation and rewriting cross-repository hyperlinks for unified documentation builds.
Description
generate_docs.py automates the Triton documentation build process across multiple related repositories. It reads a list of repositories from repositories.txt, clones them locally, then performs bidirectional hyperlink rewriting: converting GitHub URLs to relative paths for files available locally, and converting relative paths to GitHub URLs for external references. This enables the unified documentation site to correctly link across Triton's multi-repo ecosystem.
Usage
Run before Sphinx builds to prepare the multi-repository documentation structure. Required for building the complete Triton documentation site that spans server, client, backend, and common repositories.
