What
Deploy an older version of a project's documentation when the official site only shows the latest release.
Why
Projects like TypeORM retire old docs when they ship a major version, but you may still be on v0.2. Downloading a snapshot of a tagged release with degit, building it with MkDocs, and deploying to Vercel gives you a standalone docs site for the version you're actually running. The snapshot does not include Git history.
How
1. Download a specific version:
npx degit typeorm/typeorm#0.2.38 typeorm-legacy
2. Create mkdocs.yml:
site_name: TypeORM v0.2.38
site_url: https://your-url.com/
theme: readthedocs
3. Build and deploy:
pip install mkdocs
mkdocs build
npx vercel deploy
