Description

Hi, I just opened https://github.com/pebble-dev/developer.rebble.io/pull/82 but it took me a moment to figure out how to contribute to the docs / where the repo was.

How about some kind of visible link to this repo somewhere on the site?

I have a very simple experiment here: https://github.com/mortenfyhn/developer.rebble.io/tree/github-link. It adds a GitHub link to the sidebar:

The wide sidebar variant makes the sidebar slightly wider than before, which is not ideal. In any case, I'm happy to hack some variant of this and open a PR.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the github-link experiment and its sidebar changes in the linked repository branch. Compare the narrow and wide sidebar variants, then verify the site presents a visible link to the developer.rebble.io GitHub repository without an unsuitable sidebar width change.
