Have a look at https://scipy.github.io/devdocs/dev/contributor/rendering_documentation.html

For building all the documentation artifacts for a release, run:

make dist

This will build SciPy in-place (to ensure the version is correct), build html and pdf docs as well as create a zip archive of the html docs that can easily be redistributed.

• source is where most of the content lives.
  • dev contains the contributor and developer guides as well as the governance docs and the code of conduct.
  • tutorial contains all tutorial content.
  • release contains the release notes. Note that those normally should not be updated as part of a PR; we keep release notes for the upcoming releases on the wiki of the main SciPy repo.
