Description

First off. Thanks for all the small pull requests to make the site better!

The instructions for github.com/nasa started off as a simple markdown file. Someone suggested making it into a webpage and contributed the first big upgrade. Many small and medium pull requests followed making it a little better each time. Hopefully it was also good practice for some of you.

There was some concern about it being a website with NASA information without a nasa.gov ending to the URL. Other similar things are explicitly docs for approved open-source code projects. This was documentation for the org account, so somewhat of a gray area. Hence, the instructions for use of github.com/nasa on was shifted to a markdown file that is not a website but rather a file. Apologies to those who submitted pull requests to improve the previous site.
