Description

Describe the enhancement or feature you would like

This is something I find myself informing new contributors about daily. It should be made more visible in some way. (Then there is the problem of increasing the viability of the devguide itself...)

For now I think it would be good to move the section to just below the submitting section rather than the bottom of the file.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with the “Update branch button” section in the linked pull-request lifecycle documentation and compare its current position with the “submitting” section. Move the section to immediately below “submitting,” then verify the page order and links remain correct.
