To ensure a smooth collaboration process, we recommend following these best practices:
- Fork and Branch:
- We recommend forking the repository on GitHub and creating a new branch for your edits. This allows for better version control and easier tracking of changes.
- Edit the documentation on your branch and submit a Pull Request (PR) when you are ready for review.
-
Follow Existing Formats: For consistency, follow the existing documentation format. For example, if you are adding documentation for a new function, consider copying an existing markdown file from the same folder and modifying it accordingly.
-
Preview Locally:
- To preview your changes locally and ensure they meet your expectations, ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine. Run the following commands in your terminal to initiate a local preview:
yarn installyarn run dev- Confirm that the formatting is correct, links work as intended, and the content aligns with your vision BEFORE you submit.
