# Welcome to the Elk Docs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The documentation site publishes to https://docs.elk.zone.
|
||
|
|
We use [Docus](https://docus.dev) as the site generator and deploy through Netlify.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Quickstart

|
||
|
|
- Use `node -v` to see which version you have installed.

|
|
- Use `nvm install node` to upgrade to the latest version.

### Install and Preview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

1. [Fork the Elk Github project](https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/fork) into your own account
|
||
|
|
2. Clone your fork to your local machine
|
||
|
|
3. From your terminal, `cd` to the directory you cloned into
|
||
|

4. `cd docs` to enter the docs folder
|
||
|
|

Note: Run this from the project's `docs` folder, not the root of the repository on your machine!
|

### Contributing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you are ready to submit work back to the main Elk repo, create a PR.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. If it has been a bit, synchronize your fork with the upstream repo on Github.
|
||
|
|
2. Do your work in a branch on your fork
|
||
|
|
Use `git checkout -b branchNameToUse` to create a working branch separate from `main`.
|
||
|
|
3. Do your work in your preferred editor
|
||
|
|
4. Commit changes often and write meaningful commits
|
||
|
|
5. Push the changes from your local machine to your fork on Github
|
||
|
|
6. Go to your fork of the Elk project in your Github account
|
||
|
|
7. Select the **Pull Request** tab
|
||
|
|
8. Select **New Pull Request**
|
||
|
|
9. Confirm the repo/branches to compare
|
||
|
|
- Base repo should be **elk-zone/elk**
|
||
|
|
- base branch should be **main**
|
||
|
|
- Head repository should be your fork
|
||
|
|
- Compare branch should be your working branch you want to submit
|
||
|
|
If you don't see four drop downs, be sure you are comparing across forks.
|
||
|
|
10. Add a description of the changes your request makes
|
||
|
|
11. Select **Add Pull Request**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other team members will review your PR and make comments or suggestions through the PR.
|
||
|
|
You can continue making additional changes and/or apply feedback by making additional commits to the branch on your fork.
|
||
|
|
ALWAYS WORK IN YOUR FORK/BRANCH.
|
||

## Writing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Docs are in the `docs/content` folder
|
||
|
|
- Write in standard markdown
|
||
|
|
- Refer to the Docus [writing pages](https://docus.dev/introduction/writing-pages) guide
|
||
|
|
- Docus provides additional [components](https://docus.dev/api/components) to extend basic markdown
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Avoid screenshots until Elk reaches a stable release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Standards
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Write in **American English** using spelling as found in [Merriam Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com).
|
||
|
|
Translation and localization will be handled separately as/when availability or necessity allow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use [**semantic linefeeds**](https://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2012/one-sentence-per-line/) with no more than one sentence per line.
|
||
|
|
To create paragraphs, use a blank line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are no house style rules currently.
|
||
|
|
When we add any, they will be found in this document.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Style Guides
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the first guide that mentions a usable standard from the order below:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Refer to the U.S. Government's [Federal Plain Language Guidelines](https://www.plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/) as a base standard.
|
||
|
|
2. For user interface, device, and other technical guidance, refer to [**Google's Developer Style Guide**](https://developers.google.com/style).
|
||
|
|
3. As a secondary reference to the Google guide, refer to [Microsoft's Style Guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/style-guide/welcome/), then the [Chicago Manual of Style, 17th Edition](https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We use [Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/) as the standard dictionary for spelling.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Images
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Place image files in the /docs/public/images folder.
|
||
|
|
You can create subfolders to organize the images.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To add an image to a doc, use standard markdown:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```md
|
||
|
|
[](URL.for.hyperlink)
|
||
|
|
[](https://stackblitz.com/)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
