Contributing

If you just want to contribute small edits, then all you need is to have a GitHub account and click the Edit Page link in the upper right corner.

However, the recommended workflow entails editing the wiki locally, for which you’d also need git, Hugo and VSCode. You can install git  and VSCode  at their respective download links, if they aren’t installed already. The setup for Hugo is a little more involved and will be explained in more detail further down.

This writeup will assume that you have a little experience with git already. So fork the repo first and clone it locally.
Afterwards you can head to installing hugo:

Afterwards you can open your cloned folder in VSCode. You should also mark it as a trusted folder if it asks you about it.
Then, in the Menu Bar at the top, click Terminal -> New Terminal.
Entering the following command opens a local webhost and prints the URL (typically http://localhost:1313/). You can open it in a web browser and then see feedback on your changes in real time.

This wiki uses Hugo with the geekdoc theme, so looking at their documentation is generally helpful. For hugo you can find it here  and for geekdocs here  . The most important gist though is.

• Pages go into content. Each page is symbolized by a folder and an _index.md file.
• If you want to use images/videos/files, place them into the same folder as the page they’re used in.
• The structure of a page index file typically is: front matter and the content.
  • The front matter is some page specific meta-information in yaml at the top of the file
  • The content is written in markdown, with some special features being used via shortcodes.
    E.g. {{< button href="https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ" >}}Rick Roll{{< /button >}} results in Rick Roll .
    The most important shortcodes are in the linked geekdocs documentation above.
