About

ChatTriggers tutorials is a way for us to create and share video and text tutorials all in one place all while keeping the process open source and public. We will try our best to keep everything organized and easy to find on here and have a seperate part of the ChatTriggers website for getting the links off of this page to share and make them more accessable.

Contributing

This section will become a lot more structured and strict as we figure things out.

• Create or enter the folder names "video" or "text" (whichever one is appropriate for your tutorial)
• Create or enter a folder with your username
• Create a new folder with the tutorial name (its useful to number the tutorials if they are part of a series)
• Create a README.md file

Restrictions

Video Tutorials

• The video should have a clear (not clickbait) thumbnail
• README.md should follow this basic outline

<div align="center">
  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUR_VIDEO_ID">
    <img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/YOUR_VIDEO_ID/0.jpg" alt="Video Tutorial">
  </a>
</div>

# Description
A short description

• Optionally but recommended
  • Create a folder named "code" inside of your tutorial folder for any code

Text Tutorials

• Use markdown to make everything look nice
• Make sure images are cropped and easy to understand
• Avoid linking to outside sources other than the docs or slate
• When a link is neccissary, it should be made to look nice with markdown [link description](link)

Final Thoughts

Ultimately it is up to us if a tutorial reaches our standards. We can and will reject pull requests for the following reasons:

• If it is obvious that you put little time or effort into the tutorial
• If it is not your own tutorial
• If the tutorial is vague, hard to follow, or misleading

If we make changes to ChatTriggers that make a tutorial out of date, we will add a note at the top of the README.md and eventually remove it if it does not get updated.
