## Generating markdown formatted documentation for your command
Cobra can generate a markdown formatted document based on the subcommands, flags, etc. A simple example of how to do this for your command can be found in [Markdown Docs](md_docs.md)
## Generating bash completions for your command
Cobra can generate a bash completions file. If you add more information to your command these completions can be amazingly powerful and flexible. Read more about [Bash Completions](bash_completions.md)

# Generating Markdown Docs For Your Own cobra.Command
## Generate markdown docs for the entire command tree
This program can actually generate docs for the kubectl command in the kubernetes project
```go
package main
import (
"io/ioutil"
"os"
"github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/pkg/kubectl/cmd"
"github.com/spf13/cobra"
)
func main() {
kubectl := cmd.NewFactory(nil).NewKubectlCommand(os.Stdin, ioutil.Discard, ioutil.Discard)
cobra.GenMarkdownTree(kubectl, "./")
}
```
This will generate a whole series of files, one for each command in the tree, in the directory specified (in this case "./")
## Generate markdown docs for a single command
You may wish to have more control over the output, or only generate for a single command, instead of the entire command tree. If this is the case you may prefer to `GenMarkdown()` instead of `GenMarkdownTree`
```go
out := new(bytes.Buffer)
cobra.GenMarkdown(cmd, out)
```
This will write the markdown doc for ONLY "cmd" into the out, buffer.
