# GitHub Docs
-[](https://github.com/codespaces/new/?repo=github)
-This repository contains the documentation website code and Markdown source files for [docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com).
+Welcome to GitHub Docs! GitHub’s documentation is open source, meaning anyone from inside or outside the company can contribute. For full contributing guidelines, visit our [contributing guide](https://docs.github.com/en/contributing)
-GitHub's Docs team works on pre-production content in a private repo that regularly syncs with this public repo.
+## Quick links by contributor type
-Use the table of contents icon
on the top right corner of this document to navigate to a specific section quickly.
+* **Hubbers (GitHub employees):** See [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/github/docs-content/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) in the `docs-content` repository for GitHub-specific processes.
-## Contributing
+* **Open source contributors:** See [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) in the `docs` repository for a quick-start summary.
-We accept different types of contributions, including some that don't require you to write a single line of code. For detailed instructions on how to get started with our project, see [About contributing to GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/contributing/collaborating-on-github-docs/about-contributing-to-github-docs).
+## How we sync changes across Docs repositories
-### Ways to contribute
+There are two GitHub Docs repositories:
-On the GitHub Docs site, you can contribute by clicking the **Make a contribution** button at the bottom of the page to open a pull request for quick fixes like typos, updates, or link fixes.
+- **`github/docs`** (public): Open to external contributions
-You can also contribute by creating a local environment or opening a Codespace. For more information, see [Setting up your environment to work on GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/contributing/setting-up-your-environment-to-work-on-github-docs).
+- **`github/docs-internal`** (private): For GitHub employee contributions.
-
+The two repositories sync frequently. Content changes in one are reflected in the other. Hubbers might prefer to post in `docs` when working with a customer, but `docs` has limitations on the types of contributions it accepts to safeguard the site and our workflows. Internal contributions should usually go to `docs-internal`.
-For more complex contributions, please [open an issue in the docs-content repo](https://github.com/github/docs-content/issues/new/choose) describing the changes you'd like to see.
+**Important:** The `docs` repository accepts contributions to content files (`.md` files in `/content` and select `/data` sections like reusables only). Infrastructure files, workflows, and site-building code are not open for external modification.
-If you're looking for a way to contribute, you can scan through our [help wanted board](https://github.com/github/docs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22help+wanted%22) to find open issues already approved for work.
+## New to contributing
-### And that's it!
+Here are some resources to help you get started with open source contributions:
-If you're having trouble with your GitHub account, contact [Support](https://support.github.com).
-
-That's how you can easily become a member of the GitHub Docs community. :sparkles:
