Workflow

You can edit these files directly on GitHub and open a pull request. That is the easiest workflow to get started without needing to install anything on your local machine.

If you plan on contributing frequently, we recommend using an editor. VSCode is a good choice. Also install the Prettier extension for VSCode, and set VSCode to format on save. This way the editor will automatically format and wrap the text using the project's standard, so you can just focus on the content.

Note that we currently don't enforce these formatting standards to make it easy for people unfamiliar with programming to also be able to make edits from GitHub directly.

This is a common theme - unlike the rest of the codebase where we expect some baseline understanding of the tools involved, the docs are meant to be a place for non-technical people to also provide their input. The reason for this is not to increase the number of docs, but to bring more diversity to them. Such diversity of viewpoints is essential for evolving documents that can be of help to people of varying level of familiarity with tech.
