This is a guide on how to make Coder guides, it is not listed on our
[official tutorials page](../tutorials/index.md) in the docs. Intended for those
who don't frequently contribute documentation changes to the `coder/coder`
repository.
## Content
Defer to our [Contributing/Documentation](../contributing/documentation.md) page
for rules on technical writing.
### Adding Photos
Use relative imports in the markdown and store photos in
`docs/images/guides/<your_guide>/<image>.png`.
### Setting the author data
At the top of this example you will find a small html snippet that nicely
renders the author's name and photo, while linking to their GitHub profile.
Before submitting your guide in a PR, replace `your_github_handle`,
`your_github_profile_photo_url` and "Your Name". The entire `<img>` element can
be omitted.
## Setting up the routes
Once you've written your guide, you'll need to add its route to
`docs/manifest.json` under `Guides` > `"children"` at the bottom:
```json
{
// Overrides the "# Guide Title" at the top of this file
"title": "Contributing to Guides",
"description": "How to add a guide",
"path": "./guides/my-guide-file.md"
},
```
## Format before push
Before pushing your guide to github, run `make fmt` to format the files with
Prettier. Then, push your changes to a new branch and create a PR.
