If you'd like to submit a contribution simply fork a copy of this repository, install mkdocs and the mkdocs material theme. Add your content (in markdown format) and open a pull request.
For the most part, it's that simple.
The OpenMgmt site uses the mkdocs tool to render the content into what is displayed on the web site.
Installation of mkdocs is handled via pip.
pip install mkdocsSince the OpenMgmt site is using the mkdocs-material theme, you will need to install this as well.
pip install mkdocs-materialThe content for this site is in a collection of markdown files in the 'docs/' directory in this repository. Add your content or fixes to this directory.
The following command will build the content so you can take a look at it on the file system. You're not likely going to need this that often. More often you're going to be interested in seeing the rendered content in your browser.
mkdocs buildmkdocs makes it easy to see the rendered content locally in your browser. It is highly recommended that you validate
that your changes do not break anything in the visual rendering of the site. In order to serve the site mkdocs will
start a local web server, this can be invoked via the following command from the root of your copy of the repository.

In order to automate the process of linting a pre-commit hook is utilized. This requires the installation of pre-commit. Depending on your environment, the installation process may vary.
If you're using pyenv or some other python version manager, pre-commit can be installed via pip. This ensures that
it's installed to your preferred python environment.

configuration and setup the necessary tooling in order to suport development.

.markdownline.yaml. Details regarding formating and documentation conventions can be found in the content style
guide.
