Basic Guide

1. Fork this repository so you have your own copy of this repository.
2. Clone the forked repository to your computer.

git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/wiki

3. To commit your changes, create a new branch. Do not commit directly to the master branch, regardless of whether it's your own fork.

git checkout -b <new-branch>

4. Now you can start editing the files you see fit.

5. Commit your changes.

git add <modified-files> # Alternatively you can use git add -A for all files or git add -u for untracked files

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Translations

We are always open to community members adding new translations to the wiki. This helps immensely for non-English speakers.

Getting started

Firstly, you need to add your language to the list of available locales to the site. This is done in astro.config.mjs. Please refer to the ISO 639-1 list of language codes.

// astro.config.mjs

export const locales = {
  root: {
    label: 'English',
    lang: 'en',
  },
  xx: {
    label: 'Your Language',
    lang: 'xx', // Refer to two-letter language codes from the ISO 639-1 list linked above.
  },
};

Next, you can start adding your own translations. To do this, add a subdirectory to src/content/docs with your two-letter language code.

├── astro.config.mjs
├── src
│   └── content
│       └── docs
│           ├── cachyos_basic
│           │   ├── download.mdx
│           │   └── why_cachyos.md
│           └── xx # Your language code
│               └── cachyos_basic
│                   ├── download.mdx
│                   └── why_cachyos.md
└── tsconfig.json

Now you can start adding your own translations!.

As a final step, you want your translated page to be indexed, this is done again in our astro.config.mjs

// astro.config.mjs

    {
        label: 'Why CachyOS?',
        translations: {
        xx: '<why-cachyos-in-yourlanguage>',
        },
        link: 'cachyos_basic/why_cachyos',
    },

Please refer to our basic guide for comitting and pushing changes. When you're done, you can open a pull request

Happy translating!
