Create Wiki page with tips & tricks

[lucdekens]

To avoid that every contributor to this repo makes the same mistakes and falls into the same pitfalls, it would be nice to have a kind of FAQ.
This FAQ should contain guidelines, but also workarounds for known issues.

For the wiki page with tips and tricks do you have some initial questions you want to be answered there beside these in #60?

[lucdekens]

In theory I would say all questions contributors might have, and that are not covered in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.
Mostly practical Q&A.
We already discussed quite a few in other issues and reviews.

My (personal) starting list

• Suggest some tools to use?
• How to follow/automate the formatting guidelines. For example, the placement of curly braces, and how to automate this in VSC (settings.json)
• Practical guidelines for working with git and this repo
  • how this repo is set up and who manages it (merge-wise)
  • the minimum required git commands
  • possible GUI alternatives
• How to write resources that require different levels of coding?
  • the ones where all functionality is covered by PowerCLI cmdlets
  • the ones where functionality that Get-View and ExtensionData
  • the ones where all with functionality that requires esxcli
• How to design Unit tests for each of these, especially the mocking
• What shall be covered in the Integration test? What am I testing in fact?

Ok, we will add them to the wiki page.

[lucdekens]

The Wiki will in any case case be an organic document.
It will grow over time.

We have added the Tips & Tricks page to the Wiki. I will close this issue as the page is created but we will create another where request can be made about adding more sections and content to the page.
