Fix MkDocs workflow errors and update custom home page template#789
Merged
Conversation
Three errors from the deploy workflow: 1. docs_dir: . → docs_dir: docs MkDocs no longer allows docs_dir to be the parent directory of mkdocs.yml. Changed to docs/ subdirectory. 2. site_dir conflict site/ was inside docs_dir (root). Now that docs_dir is docs/, site/ sits at the repo root and is no longer nested inside it. 3. tags_file deprecated → removed Replaced `tags_file: tags.md` with bare `- tags` plugin entry, and removed the Tags nav entry that depended on it. Also added a workflow step that symlinks repo-root content trees (topics/, getting-started/, projects/, troubleshooting/, CONTRIBUTING.md, ROADMAP.md) into docs/ before the build so MkDocs can resolve all nav paths without moving any files. Updated extra_css/extra_javascript paths from docs/stylesheets/ and docs/javascripts/ to stylesheets/ and javascripts/ (now relative to docs_dir).

Move hero content from {% block content %} into {% block tabs %} (after
super()) — the correct pattern for Material 9.x custom home pages.
Content block was silently ignored because Material renders sidebars
outside the content block, resulting in the stock article view.
Also add docs/CNAME so the custom domain devops-basics.thedevopshub.org
survives mkdocs gh-deploy --force --clean which wipes the gh-pages branch.
