Remember that others make frequent changes to the site. It's best to git pull before you start making changes for the day. If you run into issues just ask for help in #engineering and someone can help you with issues.

The hompage is located in the root directory in index.md.

All additional content is located inside of the v2 folder.

Adding pages to the sidebar can be accomplished by editing _data/sidebars/platform_sidebar.yml

We're embedding ALL images and GIFs on these new docs using relative paths rather than absolute ones. This protects us in the event of a url change; we will not need to re-upload and reference each individual image or GIF.

Upload any image files with the appropriate names to https://github.com/astronomerio/documentation/tree/master/images

Once you have images in there, follow the guidelines below to reference them using a relative path in markdown:

Use ./ to reference the same level you are in, or ../ to go up a level. For example, let's say you are in v2/apache_airflow/tutorial/best-practices.html. To reference an image, you would type ../../images/{filename}.jpg, because images is at the same level as v2 . This command takes you up once to v2, then up again to root, then over to /images/ then refrences the filename.
