Welcome to Docs_like_code workflow learning¶
Thanks for your interest in the docs-like-code approach. This guide is designed to introduce you to this workflow within the realm of technical writing. It aims to help writers manage documentation as they would code, collaborate efficiently, and produce professional, accessible documents using tools such as Git, GitHub, Markdown, and open-source frames like MkDocs.
Why Write This Guide?¶
I have always wanted to create this guide on docs-like-code for three main reasons:
- To connect with like-minded individuals who want to develop projects together.
- To explore additional career opportunities for English learners.
- To contribute to the Open Source Community.
Who Is This Guide For?¶
This guide is intended for those who are students on the path of learning technical writing but totally new to either docs-like-code approach or git and GitHub.
For the former, I hope this guide sparks your interest in the docs-like-code methodology, fostering further communication and mutual learning. For the latter, I hope this guide can bring you new ideas on your own workflow.
Note
This guide is finished by Ray, who are a normal student interested in Technical Writing. Designed for complete beginners to Git and aspiring open-source contributors, this introductory resource intentionally maintains a streamlined scope - it's not meant to be as comprehensive as traditional developer guides. All the contents are based on my own experiences and perspectives, so if any mistakes are found, welcome to any feedback or contributions through the project's GitHub repository.
