Welcome! This page will guide you through the process of contributing to the CRS documentation. Before you start, please read our Contribution Guideline.
To contribute to the CRS documentation, the only thing you need is the latest Hugo binary for your OS (Windows, Linux, Mac) (Important: You need Hugo extended version >= 0.93.0.).
Once you have Hugo, clone this repository to work locally. You can edit and verify quickly that everything is working properly before creating a new pull request. To clone, use the recursive option to get the theme we use for the documentation to render the pages properly:
git clone --recursive [email protected]:coreruleset/documentation.gitNow you have all in place to perform your local edits. Everything is created using Markdown, and you will normally use the content subdirectory to add your edits. The theme has many shortcodes and others that you can use to simplify editing. You can get more information about it on Hugo Relearn theme.
Now, you can run hugo to serve the pages, and while you edit and save, your changes will be refreshed in the browser!
Use:
hugo serveThen check your edits on http://localhost:1313/documentation/.
If you are a CRS developer, you can make a branch in the documentation repository. If you are an outside contributor, you can fork the repository to your own GitHub account and create a branch in your fork. Once you are happy with your changes, send a PR with your changes. After review and merging, the documentation is built and published on https://coreruleset.org/docs after max. 5 minutes.
