Working on Docs

A note about markdown

This site uses Blackfriday for markdown. To learn about the syntax, see this site.

If you include ANY Markdown in a file, give it an .md extension.

Make sure all files are lowercase. Macs are case insensitive when creating links to images and pages, but the server is not so tests may be fine locally but the site will fail in production.

Releasing

If you receive an error regarding There was a problem getting GitHub Metrics, please see the Github personal access token.
