# Docker Documentation

## Branches
**There are two branches related to editing docs**: `master` and a
`docs` branch. You should always edit documentation on a local branch
of the `master` branch, and send a PR against `master`.

That way your fixes will automatically get included in later releases,
and docs maintainers can easily cherry-pick your changes into the
`docs` release branch. In the rare case where your change is not
forward-compatible, you may need to base your changes on the `docs`
branch.

## Getting Started
Docker documentation builds are done in a Docker container, which
installs all the required tools, adds the local `docs/` directory and
builds the HTML docs. It then starts a HTTP server on port 8000 so that
you can connect and see your changes.

## Style guide
The documentation is written with paragraphs wrapped at 80 colum lines to make
it easier for terminal use.
### Examples
When writing examples give the user hints by making them resemble what
they see in their shell:
When writing examples give the user hints by making them resemble what they see
in their shell:
- Indent shell examples by 4 spaces so they get rendered as code.
- Start typed commands with `$ ` (dollar space), so that they are easily
differentiated from program output.

- Program output has no prefix.
- Comments begin with `# ` (hash space).
- In-container shell commands begin with `$$ ` (dollar dollar space).
### Images
When you need to add images, try to make them as small as possible
(e.g. as gifs). Usually images should go in the same directory as the
`.md` file which references them, or in a subdirectory if one already
exists.

## Working using GitHub's file editor
Alternatively, for small changes and typos you might want to use
GitHub's built in file editor. It allows you to preview your changes
right on-line (though there can be some differences between GitHub
Markdown and [MkDocs Markdown](http://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/writing-your-docs/)).
Just be careful not to create many commits. And you must still
