To work on the documentation files, you need to create a copy of the entire edX-documentation repository on your local machine. You can do this from a command line or by using GitHub Desktop.
Note: If you want to work on the Insights guide or on text strings in the UI, you need to clone the edx-analytics-dashboard repo or the edx-platform repo, respectively. The procedure for cloning these repos is the same as the procedure below. Just substitute edx-documentation with the name of the repo that you want.
Command Line
- At the command line, switch to the directory where you want to create a copy of the repository.
- Run the following command to create a local copy of the edx-documentation master branch.
git clone git@github.com:edx/edx-documentation.git
