Separate actions and tools? #652

Closed

Description

Currently e.g. both supply and upload_to_play_store are listed as "Actions" and have very similar documentation:

https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/supply/
https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/upload_to_play_store/

But in reality supply is a command line tool that offers fastlane supply, fastlane supply init and similar commands, while upload_to_play_store is an action that can be used to do part of the CLI functionality via lanes (and is historically also available as the action alias supply).

This applies to other tools and actions as well, of course.

In my opinion the fastlane docs would benefit from separating these two different concepts more clearly:

  • Add new "Tools" menu option on the left
  • Separate tool and action documentation, move supply, gym etc. to Tools
  • Tools is a new overview page list similar to the Actions list, that explains what it is all about and lists the tools in a list or table
