About this Theme
Architect is GitHub’s documentation-oriented official theme. Its fixed sidebar and clearly delineated content area create an organised, easy-to-navigate layout that works well for project READMEs, API docs, and any site with multiple sections.
The theme’s structured visual hierarchy gives your content immediate credibility, and its lightweight implementation means fast page loads even for large documentation sites.
Who is it for? Developers building open-source project documentation or any structured informational site that benefits from persistent sidebar navigation.
