So what is it?

This repository contains the source files for the official Vue 3 documentation website at vuejs.org. The content is written in Markdown, a plain-text format that is easy to read and edit, and the site is generated from those files using a tool called VitePress. The repository is mainly for people who want to contribute to the documentation, whether by fixing a typo, clarifying an explanation, or adding new content. Simple edits can be made directly on GitHub without downloading anything locally. For larger changes, the README describes how to run the documentation site on your own computer to preview changes before submitting them. The README is short and focused entirely on the contribution workflow. It does not describe what Vue itself is or what the documentation covers. If you are looking to read the Vue documentation, you would go to the website rather than this repository. For contributors, the project uses pnpm as its preferred package manager and requires a recent version of Node.js. A writing guide is linked for anyone who wants to understand the editorial standards and style conventions used across the documentation.
