This duplicates the existing page and uses a new ID so that clicking on it in one sidebar (pre-Europa) will not update the sidebar. We have learned about this behaviour via https://github.com/dagger/dagger/pull/1758 Signed-off-by: Gerhard Lazu <gerhard@lazu.co.uk> |

FAQ
The intent behind this README is to answer contributor questions regarding docs.dagger.io.
What happens to a new doc page after the PR gets merged?
It gets automatically deployed to docs.dagger.io.
The doc URL will use the slug
property from the doc markdown metadata.
Given slug: /1001/install/
, the live URL will be docs.dagger.io/1001/install
How can I run docs locally?
You will need to have yarn
and Node.js v16 installed.
From the top-level dir - cd ../
- run the following command: make web
This will install all dependencies, start the docs web server locally and open localhost:3000 in your browser.
How can I add a new doc page?
From the docs
dir, run ./new.sh doc-title
This will create a new Markdown file for the new doc page, i.e. docs/1214-doc-title.md
This new doc will not be added to the navigation. We prefer to keep the organisation of doc pages, and writing them separate. For the time being - 2022 Q1 - the focus is on writing self-contained doc content. Don't worry about where to fit this content, it's enough to keep this in mind: Writing effective documentation.
What else should I keep in mind as I add new doc pages?

- "I would propose starting off with common use case and get a feedback loop possible where customers get to somewhat steer the topics they want next. Maybe via a vote system to prioritise . The community leads it all." Frankie Onuonga via Twitter, Nov. 2021
