If you install GitBash and work locally, the steps for creating a new local working branch, making changes, and submitting the changes back to the main branch are listed in Git commands for creating a new article or updating an existing article

Branches

Create local working branches that target a specific scope of change. Each branch should be limited to a single concept/article both to streamline work flow and reduce the possibility of merge conflicts. Appropriate scope for a new branch:

  • A new article (and associated images)
  • Spelling and grammar edits on an article.
  • Applying a single formatting change across a large set of articles (e.g. new copyright footer).

How to use markdown to format your topic

All the articles in this repository use GitHub flavored markdown. Markdown basics

Article metadata

Article metadata enables certain functionalities such as author and contributor attribution, breadcrumbs, article descriptions, and SEO optimizations as well as reporting Microsoft uses to evaluate content performance. Here's the guidance for making sure your metadata is done right.

Labels

Automated labels are assigned to pull requests to help us manage the pull request workflow and to help let you know what's going on with your pull request:

  • Contribution License Agreement related
    • cla-not-required: The change is relatively minor and does not require that you sign a CLA.
    • cla-required: The scope of the change is relatively large and requires that you sign a CLA.
    • cla-signed: The contributor signed the CLA, so the pull request can now move forward for review.
  • Pillar labels: Labels such as PnP, Modern Apps, and TDC help categorize the pull requests by the internal organization that needs to review the pull request.
  • Change sent to author: The author has been notified of the pending pull request.
