Repository files navigation

Welcome to GitHub Docs! GitHub’s documentation is open source, meaning anyone from inside or outside the company can contribute. For full contributing guidelines, visit ourcontributing guide

• Hubbers (GitHub employees): SeeCONTRIBUTING.md in thedocs-content repository for GitHub-specific processes.

• Open source contributors: SeeCONTRIBUTING.md in thedocs repository for a quick-start summary.

There are two GitHub Docs repositories:

• github/docs (public): Open to external contributions

• github/docs-internal (private): For GitHub employee contributions.

The two repositories sync frequently. Content changes in one are reflected in the other. Hubbers might prefer to post indocs when working with a customer, butdocs has limitations on the types of contributions it accepts to safeguard the site and our workflows. Internal contributions should usually go todocs-internal.

Important: Thedocs repository accepts contributions to content files (.md files in/content and select/data sections like reusables only). Infrastructure files, workflows, and site-building code are not open for external modification.
