Like soup-to-nuts. I know I need to document what I’m doing and I’ve started several times, but then I never go back and make updates. I don’t know if it’s just the ADHD or if I’m just going about it or thinking about it in the wrong way.
So I’m curious about:
- what you use for your documentation
- how you organize it
- what information you include
- how you work documentation into your changes/tinkering flow
Edit: Dang, folks! You all have given me a lot to read through, think about, and explore. Thank you!
Markdown files
What ?
The commands that worked and the stuff that didn’t work and the links to the source of information
I write as I go. I keep it as part of a git repository when relevant
Had to scroll down this far just to get to markdown files. Although I write with a bit of a delay. Once I get something working. Then I document what worked and what didn’t. Alternative methods and issues I had with the alternatives.
