Getting the resources

In order to document GhostBSD projects, you will want to run a recent GhostBSD build, and to document third-party projects, you will also need a recent version of that program. We are use Sphinx with MyST to makes it easy to create our Documentation Hub. Any one that wants to help should start to be familiar with Git, GitHub and MyST Markdown syntax.

The instructions for install and setup can be found on the GhostBSD Documentation GitHub repository.
