So what is it?

This repository holds the source files for the official TensorFlow guides and tutorials that appear on tensorflow.org. TensorFlow is a widely used open-source library for building and running machine learning models, and this repository is where the written documentation for it lives. The files here are not the TensorFlow software itself. They are the text, code examples, and Jupyter notebooks that explain how to use TensorFlow. When the website is updated with new or revised documentation, the changes come from this repository. Anyone who wants to improve the documentation can contribute by following the contributor guide and style guide linked in the README. Bugs or errors in the documentation should be reported as issues in the main TensorFlow code repository rather than here. Community-contributed translations of the documentation into other languages are maintained in a separate companion repository called tensorflow/docs-l10n. The project is released under the Apache 2.0 license.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I found a mistake in the official TensorFlow Keras training guide on tensorflow.org. Walk me through which file to edit in tensorflow/docs and how to submit a pull request following the contributor style guide.
Prompt 2
I want to run the official TensorFlow beginner tutorial notebook locally instead of on Colab. Show me how to find it in the docs repo and what pip packages I need to install.
Prompt 3
Help me use a tensorflow/docs tutorial notebook as a starting point for training my own image classifier, which notebook is closest to a basic CNN classification example?
Prompt 4
I want to translate a TensorFlow tutorial into Spanish. Where does the tensorflow/docs-l10n companion repo live and what is the process for submitting a translation?
