signature_repository ¤

The GitHub repository in the format owner/repo.

By default, the repository is inferred from the current git repository using the default origin remote. If it cannot be inferred, it must be set manually.

Tip

By default the current repository name is automatically grabbed from either the GitHub Actions environment or the git remotes. This option only serves to customize the shown repository in the signature.

signature_version ¤

The versioning scheme to use for the signature.

  • ref: use the git ref (branch or tag) from which the workflow or action is run,
  • major: use the latest release tag matching vX (e.g. v1, v2),
  • semver: use the latest release tag matching vX.X.X (e.g. v1.0.0, v2.1.3),
  • string: use the string provided in the signature_version_string option.

Info

To automatically grab the latest major or semver release, mkdocstrings-github uses local git tags matching the patterns vX (major) and vX.Y.Z (semver). Make sure your repository has appropriate tags if you wish to use these versioning options.

When building your documentation in GitHub Actions, make sure that the checkout will have access to the git tags associated with the action/workflow versions. This is best done by specifying a checkout filter:

Example checkout
...
- name: checkout
  uses: actions/checkout@v5
  with:
    filter: tree:0
...
- name: build step
  run: mkdocs build
