  Plugin Documentation-as-Code: Moving docs to GitHub

  In September 2019 we announced support of GitHub as a source of documentation for the Jenkins Plugin Site. Thanks to Zbynek Konecny and Olivier Vernin and other contributors, now it is possible to store plugin documentation right inside plugin repositories instead of Jenkins Wiki which was historically difficult to maintain for plugin maintainers and for the Jenkins infrastructure team. This blogpost may be interesting...

Since I made my first—​ridiculously simple—​commit into Jenkins, six months ago (in September, 2018), I have been attempting to contribute more to the...
