Contributing to the CF Conventions

The CF Conventions are changed by changing the source files in this repository. The rules for doing this are set forth on the CF website. Their implementation in GitHub is described in this repository's CONTRIBUTING.md file.

Building the HTML

To convert the AsciiDoc files into the resulting HTML file:

1. Ensure you have Ruby installed (e.g. sudo apt-get install ruby)
2. Ensure you have a recent version of Asciidoctor installed (e.g. gem install asciidoctor)
3. Get hold of the AsciiDoc files in this repo (e.g. git clone git@github.com:cf-metadata/cf-conventions.git)
4. Build the HTML: asciidoctor cf-conventions.adoc

See the GitHub help pages and plethora of other git/GitHub guides for more details on how to work with repos, forks, pull requests, etc.
