Welcome to the usage documentation for the Urbit project. This documentation is maintained by Tlon and the Urbit community in a public Github repository. Issues and contributions are welcome.

This documentation provides a series of guides and reference material for assisting you in the usage and operations of your ship. If you're looking for documentation on how to develop on Urbit, see our development docs.

Urbit OS

This section describes how to interact with your running Urbit ship: this includes working with the filesystem, command line (dojo), resolving common issues, and more.

Urbit ID

Urbit ID is our public-key infrastructure, which is what allows you to truly own your identity. Here you'll find guides for interacting with your Urbit ID via our Bridge application.

Running Urbit

Urbit can be run in a variety of contexts. Our Getting Started Guide covers how to run an Urbit locally on your computer; this section covers alternative ways of running Urbit.
