Contributing to the documentation

Whether you see a typo or you want to suggest a change to the technical content, we encourage you to fork this repository and submit a pull request.

The "Edit on GitHub" link that is in the upper-left corner of every page opens the source file of that page so you can easily submit a change.

Content organization

Articles are organized in directories that present the articles in a heirarchy in the site sidebar. When you add a file to a directory, it is automatically listed in that section in the sidebar.

The metadata (front matter) of a page is used to:

• Order the articles in a section by the 'weight' parameter (Remember, lower weight = higher priority
• Mark articles as draft: true so that they are not published

To add a new section in the sidebar, you must add a directory and add an _index.md file in that directory. The content of the _index.md file is shown when you click on the category in the sidebar, and the weight of the _index.md file determines the order in which the category is listed in the sidebar.
