Open the Besu documentation repository in a text editor of your choice, for example IntelliJ, and make your changes. Refer to the documentation style guide and the MkDocs and Markdown guide and the documentation style guide when making documentation changes.
Preview your changes with MkDocs to check that the changes render correctly.
Add and commit your changes, using a clear commit message. Make sure to add a DCO message to each commit. Push your changes to your remote fork (usually named
origin).git add *git commit -m "<COMMIT-MESSAGE>"git push origin
Navigate to the original Besu documentation repository, and you’ll see a banner prompting you to create a PR with your recent changes. Create a PR, filling out the description according to the template. Remember to link the issue that the PR fixes in the description.
