What is website?

This repository contains the source code for the Babel documentation website at babeljs.io. Babel is a widely used tool that helps developers write modern JavaScript code and translates it into a version that older web browsers can understand. This repo is simply the collection of pages, articles, and guides that teach people how to use that tool. The project is built so that anyone can suggest edits or improvements to the documentation. At a high level, the website is built using Docusaurus, which is a tool for creating documentation websites. The actual written content lives directly in this repository rather than scattered across different codebases. To keep everything organized, the documentation here serves as the single source of truth. The readme files inside the main Babel tool's codebase are automatically generated and simply point back to the articles housed in this website repository. Contributors and writers who want to update the documentation would use this repo. For example, if a developer notices that a tutorial about setting up Babel is missing a step or contains outdated syntax, they would clone this repository, fix the text, and submit their changes. Anyone who wants to help improve how the JavaScript community learns to use Babel would work here. Setting it up locally requires a few specific tools. You need Node (version 10.19.0 or higher) and Yarn (version 1.19.0 or higher) installed on your computer. After downloading the files, running a couple of simple setup commands gets the site running on your own machine so you can preview changes. The project also has an active Slack community where contributors can ask questions and get support while making updates.
