Requires Ruby and Bundler installed locally to run format-validation checks before submitting a pull request.
This repository stores the community-written content that powers GitHub's Topics and Collections pages. Topics are subject-area labels you see on GitHub that help people discover repositories around a theme, such as machine learning or web development. Collections are hand-picked groups of repositories, developers, and articles that share a common purpose. Anyone can suggest changes to existing topic pages or propose entirely new ones by following the contributing guide in the repository. The content is written in a structured text format that GitHub's website reads directly. The project includes a small set of automated checks written in Ruby. These checks verify that each topic page follows the expected format before changes are accepted. Contributors who want to run those checks on their own computer need Ruby and a tool called Bundler installed, then two commands to install and run the checks. The content itself is released under a Creative Commons license that allows broad reuse, though it does not grant trademark rights.
