# DataHub Docs Overview
|
|
|
|
DataHub's project documentation is hosted at [datahubproject.io](https://datahubproject.io/docs)
|
|
|
|
## Types of Documentation
|
|
|
|
### Feature Guide
|
|
|
|
A Feature Guide should follow the [Feature Guide Template](_feature-guide-template.md), and should provide the following value:
|
|
|
|
* At a high level, what is the concept/feature within DataHub?
|
|
* Why is the feature useful?
|
|
* What are the common use cases of the feature?
|
|
* What are the simple steps one needs to take to use the feature?
|
|
|
|
When creating a Feature Guide, please remember to:
|
|
|
|
* Provide plain-language descriptions for both technical and non-technical readers
|
|
* Avoid using industry jargon, abbreviations, or acryonyms
|
|
* Provide descriptive screenshots, links out to relevant YouTube videos, and any other relevant resources
|
|
* Provide links out to Tutorials for advanced use cases
|
|
|
|
*Not all Feature Guides will require a Tutorial.*
|
|
|
|
### Tutorial
|
|
|
|
A Tutorial is meant to provide very specific steps to accomplish complex workflows and advanced use cases that are out of scope of a Feature Guide.
|
|
|
|
Tutorials should be written to accomodate the targeted persona, i.e. Developer, Admin, End-User, etc.
|
|
|
|
*Not all Tutorials require an associated Feature Guide.*
|
|
|
|
## Docs Best Practices
|
|
|
|
### Embedding GIFs and or Screenshots
|
|
|
|
* Store GIFs and screenshots in [datahub-project/static-assets](https://github.com/datahub-project/static-assets); this minimizes unnecessarily large image/file sizes in the main repo
|
|
* Center-align screenshots and size down to 70% - this improves readability/skimability within the site
|
|
|
|
Example snippet:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<p align="center">
|
|
<img width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/impact-analysis-export-full-list.png"/>
|
|
</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Use the "raw" GitHub image link (right click image from GitHub > Open in New Tab > copy URL):
|
|
|
|
* Good: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/dbt-test-logic-view.png
|
|
* Bad: https://github.com/datahub-project/static-assets/blob/main/imgs/dbt-test-logic-view.png
