# Terraform Documentation
This directory contains the portions of [the Terraform website ](https://www.terraform.io/ ) that pertain to the
core functionality, excluding providers and the overall configuration.
The files in this directory are intended to be used in conjunction with
[the `terraform-website` repository ](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-website ), which brings all of the
different documentation sources together and contains the scripts for testing and building the site as
a whole.
