Documentation
Bootstrap’s documentation, included in this repo in the root directory, is built with Astro and publicly hosted on GitHub Pages at https://getbootstrap.com/. The docs may also be run locally.
Documentation search is powered by Algolia's DocSearch.
Running documentation locally
- Run
npm install to install the Node.js dependencies, including Astro (the site builder).
- Run
npm run test (or a specific npm script) to rebuild distributed CSS and JavaScript files, as well as our docs assets.
- From the root
/bootstrap directory, run npm run docs-serve in the command line.
- Open http://localhost:9001 in your browser, and voilà.
Learn more about using Astro by reading its documentation.
Documentation for previous releases
You can find all our previous releases docs on https://getbootstrap.com/docs/versions/.

Versioning
For transparency into our release cycle and in striving to maintain backward compatibility, Bootstrap is maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines. Sometimes we screw up, but we adhere to those rules whenever possible.
See the Releases section of our GitHub project for changelogs for each release version of Bootstrap. Release announcement posts on the official Bootstrap blog contain summaries of the most noteworthy changes made in each release.
