 ## Contribution
 * If you wish to add to the documentation please create a PR against this repo, with a `patch` against `develop`.
 
 ## Scripts
 * There are several autogenerated command files for clients and binaries. These are generated with `generate:commands`, which runs the `autodoc` rust binary, moves the files to their required places, and then if there is an update, commits them to git. This is for remote deployments.

 ### Autodoc
 `autodoc` is a script that generates markdown files containing commands and their output (both command and `--help` output). For the moment the binaries and their commands are manually configured in the script.
