Contributing to this Wiki

This is a guide to contributing to the wiki, the associated technical knowledge that’s required along with how the content is layed out.

🚀 Project Structure

This project is built on-top of the Starlight framework and utilises it to convert the content written in markdown to webpages.

Inside of the project, you’ll see the following folders and files:

  • Directorypublic/
  • Directorysrc/
    • Directoryassets/
      • Directorycontent/
        • Directorydocs/
        • config.ts
    • env.d.ts
  • astro.config.mjs
  • package.json
  • tsconfig.json

Starlight looks for .md or .mdx files in the src/content/docs/ directory. Each file is exposed as a route based on its file name.

Images can be added to src/assets/ and embedded in Markdown with a relative link.

Static assets, like favicons, can be placed in the public/ directory.

Modifying existing content

Modifying existing content is straightforward as it can be done through the GitHub web UI once you click the Edit page button on the associated wiki page. It can also be done through a local copy of the wiki by modifying the md/mdx file.

Adding new content

Adding new content is a bit more involved then modifying new content as you have to create the required folder if needed and then add the new files into astro.config.mjs.

🧞 Commands

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

CommandAction
pnpm installInstalls dependencies
pnpm run devStarts local dev server at localhost:3000
pnpm run buildBuild your production site to ./dist/
pnpm run previewPreview your build locally, before deploying
pnpm run astro ...Run CLI commands like astro add, astro check

Opening a Pull Request

Once you have created your changes and committed them to your local repository you should open a pull request with the information about what you have added. This PR should use the conventional commits standard for the PR title to help us know what it is about (most changes will be feat/fit).
