Projects and Repositories
Every source code repository should include documentation that is specific to it (e.g., in a Wiki within the repository), while the project itself should include general documentation that is common to all its associated repositories (e.g., in a Wiki within the backlog management tool).
Documentation Specific to a Repository
- Introduction
- Getting started
- Onboarding
- Setup: programming language, frameworks, platforms, tools, etc.
- Sandbox environment
- Working agreement
- Contributing guide
- Structure: folders, projects, etc.
- How to compile, test, build, deploy the solution/each project
- Different OS versions
- Command line + editors/IDEs
- Design Decision Logs
Some sections in the documentation of the repository might point to the project’s documentation (e.g., Onboarding, Working Agreement, Contributing Guide).
