Getting Started with Vaadin Documentation

To make quick corrections or suggestions to the Vaadin Docs, click the GitHub link in the upper-right corner of any page to start making a contribution through GitHub and then do a pull request. You should pay note to the instructions and limitations for editing in GitHub.

A more flexible way is to use a local editor and tools.

The basic tasks for contributing to Vaadin documentation are:

  1. Install editing tools

  2. Clone the Docs Repository

  3. Edit documentation

  4. Make a pull request in GitHub

  5. Make possible fixes requested by reviewers

Clone the Docs Repository

The documentation is maintained in the github.com/vaadin/docs repository.

Start by cloning the repository. You should clone it somewhere else in your file system and then create symbolic link to it as described later.

For example:

git clone http://github.com/vaadin/docs -b latest

Then, open the folder or the pages you want to edit in your editor.
