Contributing

This site is community-maintained and welcomes contributions.

Reporting bugs / suggesting changes

• Bugs in the Exfer node / CLI: https://github.com/ahuman-exfer/exfer/issues
• Bugs or typos on this docs site: open an issue / PR on the exfer-docs repository.

When filing a bug, please include:

• exfer --version
• Exact command + flags
• Full error message + log context (journalctl -u exfer is great)
• OS / distro / filesystem

Asking questions

For "is this the right way to do X?" questions, GitHub Discussions: https://github.com/ahuman-exfer/exfer/discussions

For real-time chat, look at the project README for the current community channel.

Contributing docs

The flow is the same as for any GitHub-hosted docs:

1. Fork the repository.
2. Edit the markdown under src/.
3. Verify locally with mdbook build (and mdbook serve --open for live preview).
4. Open a PR.

Things that get merged quickly:

• Typo fixes, broken-link repairs.
• Clearer explanations of existing topics.
• New community node entries in nodes.toml.
• New script-pattern walkthroughs that match the existing tone.

Things that take longer:

• Major restructuring of the sidebar.
• Adding entirely new top-level sections.
• Changes to the deployment / hosting setup.

Style notes

• Optimize for someone who skimmed the intro and is now on this page. Don't reintroduce; do link back.
• Show runnable commands, not pseudocode.
• Explain the why at least once per page, then move to the how.
• Prefer terse over comprehensive. If a section is "nobody cares", cut it.
