## Extend Documentation

All the files which get used in the n8n documentation on [https://docs.n8n.io](https://docs.n8n.io)
can be found in the [/docs](https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/tree/master/docs) folder. So all changes
and additions can directly be made in there

That the markdown docs look pretty we use [docsify](https://docsify.js.org). It is possible to test
locally how it looks like rendered with the following commands:

```bash
# 1. Install docisify
npm i docsify-cli -g

# 2. Go into n8n folder (the same folder which contains this file). For example:
cd /data/n8n

# 3. Start docsificy
docsify serve ./docs
```
The repository for the n8n documentation on https://docs.n8n.io can be found [here](https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n-docs).

**Short answer:** It means "nodemation" and it is pronounced as n-eight-n.

**Long answer:** I get that question quite often (more often than I expected)
**Long answer:** "I get that question quite often (more often than I expected)
so I decided it is probably best to answer it here. While looking for a
good name for the project with a free domain I realized very quickly that all the
good ones I could think of were already taken. So, in the end, I chose
nodemation. "node-" in the sense that it uses a Node-View and that it uses
Node.js and "-mation" for "automation" which is what the project is supposed to help with.

However, I did not like how long the name was and I could not imagine writing
something that long every time in the CLI. That is when I then ended up on
"n8n". Sure does not work perfectly but does neither for Kubernetes (k8s) and
did not hear anybody complain there. So I guess it should be ok.
'n8n'." - **Jan Oberhauser, Founder and CEO, n8n.io**
