Contributing to the wiki

There are a couple ways to contribute to the wiki, first and foremost all articles written should follow the _guidelines.

GitHub Access

In order to contribute to the github repo with method 2 or 3, you will need to be granted access¹. This is done by sending your GitHub account or e-mail to Jasper on discord.

Method 3 is the preferred method for anyone that wishes to contribute multiple times to the wiki and has some mental capacity to understand git.

Method 1: Offloading

The first way to contribute is simply to send your note (preferably in .md format) to somebody with access to the wiki (visible on the github repo). They can then upload your file(s) and fix everything for you.

This is only recommended if you only want to contribute very little and/or are technically incapable of using git.

Method 2: Github Web

Simply navigate to the github repo and navigate to the content folder in the repository, there you can edit or add files in the appropriate folders and commit them straight to the repo. Doing this on the branch v4 will automatically update the wiki in a couple of seconds.

Method 3: Obsidian

1. Follow the Instructions in the readme.md at the root of the repo to clone and setup the repo locally.
2. Open obsidian, open folder as vault, and select the content folder inside the repo
3. Make sure to git pull --rebase every time before you start making changes.
4. Use git (or lazygit, GitHub desktop, etc.) to commit and push changes to the repository.
5. Changes to the v4 branch will sync to the wiki after deployment.

Info

You can use the _NEWNOTE and _SESSIONNOTE templates to easily create notes with Obsidian.

Footnotes

1. This could also be achieved by forking the repo and making a pull request, if you are familiar with GitHub. ↩
