-
-### Quick fixes
-
-For small changes to a single file, you can edit directly in GitHub by clicking
-**Edit this file** button. After forking the repository, follow the instructions
-in [Editing files][].
-
-However, formatting may still be needed, like reducing line lengths in the
-edited file. The options for fixing formatting are:
-
-- Checking out the project and running the CLI scripts mentioned in
- [Submitting a change](#submitting-a-change).
-- Commenting `/fix:format` on your pull request to trigger an automated script.
- This requires a unique branch name, which can be edited under _View all
- branches_ in your fork.
-
-For larger fixes, follow the
-[instructions to setup a development environment](#development) below.
-
-### PR Guidelines
-
-Before a PR gets merged, it will sometimes require a few iterations of
-review-and-edit. To help us and yourself make this process as easy as possible,
-we ask that adhere to the following:
-
-- If your PR isn't a [quick fix](#quick-fixes), then **work from a fork**: Click
- the [Fork](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/fork) button at
- the top of the repository and clone the fork locally. When you are ready,
- raise a PR with the upstream repository.
-- **Do not work from the `main`** branch of your fork, but create a PR-specific
- branch.
-- Ensure that maintainers are
- [allowed to apply changes to your pull request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/allowing-changes-to-a-pull-request-branch-created-from-a-fork).
-
-### Merge requirements
+## Contributor's guide
-- No “changes requested” reviews by approvers, maintainers, technical committee
- members, or subject matter experts
-- No unresolved conversations
-- Approved by at least one approver
-- No failing PR checks
-- PR branch is up-to-date with the base branch
-

+
+#### Fork the opentelemetry.io repository
+
+1. Navigate to the
+ [`opentelemetry.io`](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/)
+ repository.
+1. Select **Fork**.
+
+#### Create a local clone and set the upstream
+
+1. In a terminal window, clone your fork and install the requirements:
+
+ ```shell
+ git clone git@github.com:/opentelemetry.io.git
+ cd opentelemetry.io
+ npm install
+ ```
+
+1. Set the `open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io` repository as the `upstream`
+ remote:
+
+ ```shell
+ git remote add upstream https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io.git
+ ```
+
+1. Confirm your `origin` and `upstream` repositories:
+
+ ```shell
+ git remote -v
+ ```
+
+ Output is similar to:
+
+ ```none
+ origin git@github.com:/opentelemetry.io.git (fetch)
+ origin git@github.com:/opentelemetry.io.git (push)
+ upstream https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io.git (fetch)
+ upstream https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io.git (push)
+ ```
+
+1. Fetch commits from your fork's `origin/main` and
+ `open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io`'s `upstream/main`:
+
+ ```shell
+ git fetch origin
+ git fetch upstream
+ ```
+
+ This makes sure your local repository is up to date before you start making
+ changes. Push changes from upstream to origin regularly to keep you fork in
+ sync with upstream.
+
+#### Create a branch
+
+1. Create a new branch. This example assumes the base branch is `upstream/main`:
+
+ ```shell
+ git checkout -b upstream/main
+ ```
+
+1. Make your changes using a code or text editor.
+
+At any time, use the `git status` command to see what files you've changed.
+
+#### Commit your changes
+
+When you are ready to submit a pull request, commit your changes.
+
+1. In your local repository, check which files you need to commit:
+
+ ```shell
+ git status
+ ```
+
+ Output is similar to:
+
+ ```none
+ On branch
+ Your branch is up to date with 'origin/'.
+
+ Changes not staged for commit:
+ (use "git add ..." to update what will be committed)
+ (use "git checkout -- ..." to discard changes in working directory)
+
+ modified: content/en/docs/file-you-are-editing.md
+
+ no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
+ ```
+
+1. Add the files listed under **Changes not staged for commit** to the commit:
+
+ ```shell
+ git add
+ ```
+
+ Repeat this for each file.
+
+1. After adding all the files, create a commit:
+
+ ```shell
+ git commit -m "Your commit message"
+ ```
+
+1. Push your local branch and its new commit to your remote fork:
+
+ ```shell
+ git push origin
+ ```
+
+1. Once the changes are pushed, GitHub lets you know that you can create a PR.
+
+#### Open a pull request from your fork {#open-a-pr}
+

+1. From the **compare** drop-down menu, select your branch.
+1. Select **Create Pull Request**.
+1. Add a description for your pull request:
+
+ - **Title** (50 characters or less): Summarize the intent of the change.
+ - **Description**: Describe the change in more detail.
+
+ - If there is a related GitHub issue, include `Fixes #12345` or
+ `Closes #12345` in the description. GitHub's automation closes the
+ mentioned issue after merging the PR if used. If there are other related
+ PRs, link those as well.
+ - If you want advice on something specific, include any questions you'd
+ like reviewers to think about in your description.
+
+1. Select the **Create pull request** button.
+
+Your pull request is available in
+[Pull requests](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/pulls).
+
+After opening a PR, GitHub runs automated tests and tries to deploy a preview
+using [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/).
+
+- If the Netlify build fails, select **Details** for more information.
+- If the Netlify build succeeds, select **Details** opens a staged version of
+ the OpenTelemetry website with your changes applied. This is how reviewers
+ check your changes.
+
+Other checks might also fail, including:
+
+- File name checks
+- Links resolution
+- Markdown formatting
+- Spelling
+
+GitHub also automatically assigns labels to a PR to help reviewers.
+
+#### Fix content issues automatically
+
+Before submitting a change to the repository, run the following command and
+address any reported issues. Also commit any files changed by the `fix` script:
+
+```sh
+npm run test-and-fix
+```
+
+To separately test and fix issues with your files, run:
+
+```sh
+npm run test # checks but does not update any files
+npm run fix # may update files
+```
+
+To list available NPM scripts, run `npm run`.
+
+#### Preview your changes locally {#preview-locally}
+
+Preview your changes locally before pushing them or opening a pull request. A
+preview lets you catch build errors or markdown formatting problems.
+
+To build and serve the site locally with Hugo, run the following command:
+
+```shell
+npm run serve
+```
+
+Navigate to `https://localhost:1313` in your web browser to see the local
+preview. Hugo watches the changes and rebuilds the site as needed.
+
+To stop the local Hugo instance, go back to the terminal and type `Ctrl+C`, or
+close the terminal window.
+
+#### Site deploys and PR previews
+
+If you submit a PR, Netlify will create a [deploy preview][] so that you can
+review your changes. Once your PR is merged, Netlify deploys the updated site to
+the production server.
+
+> **Note**: PR previews include _draft pages_, but production builds do not.
+
+To see deploy logs and more, visit project's [dashboard][] -- Netlify login
+required.
+
+#### PR guidelines
+
+Before a PR gets merged, it will sometimes require a few iterations of
+review-and-edit. To help us and yourself make this process as easy as possible,
+we ask that adhere to the following:
+
+- If your PR isn't a quick fix, then **work from a fork**: Click the
+ [Fork](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/fork) button at the
+ top of the repository and clone the fork locally. When you are ready, raise a
+ PR with the upstream repository.
+- **Do not work from the `main`** branch of your fork, but create a PR-specific
+ branch.
+- Ensure that maintainers are
+ [allowed to apply changes to your pull request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/allowing-changes-to-a-pull-request-branch-created-from-a-fork).
+
+#### Changes from reviewers
+
+Sometimes reviewers commit to your pull request. Before making any other
+changes, fetch those commits.
+
+1. Fetch commits from your remote fork and rebase your working branch:
+
+ ```shell
+ git fetch origin
+ git rebase origin/
+ ```
+
+1. After rebasing, force-push new changes to your fork:
+
+ ```shell
+ git push --force-with-lease origin
+ ```
+
+You can also solve merge conflicts from the GitHub UI.
+
+#### Merge conflicts and rebasing
+
+If another contributor commits changes to the same file in another PR, it can
+create a merge conflict. You must resolve all merge conflicts in your PR.
+
+1. Update your fork and rebase your local branch:
+
+ ```shell
+ git fetch origin
+ git rebase origin/
+ ```
+
+ Then force-push the changes to your fork:
+
+ ```shell
+ git push --force-with-lease origin
+ ```
+
+1. Fetch changes from `open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io`'s `upstream/main` and
+ rebase your branch:
+
+ ```shell
+ git fetch upstream
+ git rebase upstream/main
+ ```
+
+1. Inspect the results of the rebase:
+
+ ```shell
+ git status
+ ```
+
+ This results in a number of files marked as conflicted.
+
+1. Open each conflicted file and look for the conflict markers: `>>>`, `<<<`,
+ and `===`. Resolve the conflict and delete the conflict marker.
+
+ For more information, see
+ [How conflicts are presented](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-merge#_how_conflicts_are_presented).
+
+1. Add the files to the changeset:
+
+ ```shell
+ git add
+ ```
+
+1. Continue the rebase:
+
+ ```shell
+ git rebase --continue
+ ```
+
+1. Repeat steps 2 to 5 as needed.
+
+ After applying all commits, the `git status` command shows that the rebase is
+ complete.
+
+1. Force-push the branch to your fork:
+
+ ```shell
+ git push --force-with-lease origin
+ ```
+
+ The pull request no longer shows any conflicts.
+
+#### Merge requirements
+
+Pull requests are merged when they comply with the following criteria:
+
+- All reviews by approvers, maintainers, technical committee members, or subject
+ matter experts have the status "Approved"
+- No unresolved conversations
+- Approved by at least one approver
+- No failing PR checks
+- PR branch is up-to-date with the base branch
+
+> **Important**
+>
+> Do not worry too much about failing PR checks! Community members will help you
+> to get them fixed, by either providing you with instructions how to fix them
+> or by fixing them on your behave.
+
+## Open an issue
+
+If you want to suggest improvements to existing content or notice an error, open
+an issue.
+
+1. Click the **Create documentation issue** link on any document. This redirects
+ you to a GitHub issue page prepopulated with some headers.
+2. Describe the issue or suggestion for improvement. Provide as many details as
+ you can.
+3. Click **Submit new issue**.
+
+After submitting, check in on your issue occasionally or turn on GitHub
+notifications. It might take a few days until maintainers and approvers respond.
+Reviewers and other community members might ask questions before they can take
+action on your issue.
+
+### Suggesting new content or features
+
+If you have an idea for new content or a feature, but you aren't sure where it
+should go, you can still file an issue. You can also report bugs and security
+vulnerabilities.
+
+1. Go to
+ [GitHub](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/issues/new/) and
+ select **New issue** inside the **Issues** tab.
+
+1. Select the type of issue that best applies to your request or doubt.
+
+1. Fill out the template.
+
+1. Submit the issue.
+
+### How to file great issues
+
+Keep the following in mind when filing an issue:
+
+- Provide a clear issue description. Describe what specifically is missing, out
+ of date, wrong, or needs improvement.
+- Explain the specific impact the issue has on users.
+- Limit the scope of a given issue to a reasonable unit of work. For problems
+ with a large scope, break them down into smaller issues. For example, "Fix the
+ security docs" is too broad, but "Add details to the 'Restricting network
+ access' topic" is specific enough to be actionable.
+- Search the existing issues to see if there's anything related or similar to
+ the new issue.
+- If the new issue relates to another issue or pull request, refer to it either
+ by its full URL or by the issue or pull request number prefixed with a `#`
+ character. For example, `Introduced by #987654`.
+- Follow the
+ [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/code-of-conduct.md).
+ Respect your fellow contributors. For example, "The docs are terrible" is not
+ helpful or polite feedback.
+
+## Contribute to other repositories
+
+The OpenTelemetry project contains many repositories. Several of these
+repositories contain documentation: user-facing help text, error messages, API
+references or code comments.
+
+If you see text you'd like to improve, use GitHub to search all repositories in
+the OpenTelemetry organization. This can help you figure out where to submit
+your issue or PR.
+
+Each repository has its own processes and procedures. Before you file an issue
+or submit a PR, read that repository's `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, and
+`code-of-conduct.md`, if they exist.
+
+Most repositories use issue and PR templates. Have a look through some open
+issues and PRs to get a feel for that team's processes. Make sure to fill out
+the templates with as much detail as possible when you file issues or PRs.
+
+## Other ways to contribute
+
+- Visit the [OpenTelemetry community site](/community/).
+- Add your application to the [Registry](/ecosystem).
+- Submit a [blog post or case study](/docs/contributing/blog/).

+title: Blog
+description: Learn how to submit a blog post.
+weight: 30
+---
+
+The [OpenTelemetry blog](/blog/) communicates new features, community reports,
+and any news that might be relevant to the OpenTelemetry community. This
+includes end users and developers. Anyone can write a blog post and submit it
+for review.
+
+## Before submitting a blog post
+
+Blog posts should not be commercial in nature and should consist of original
+content that applies broadly to the OpenTelemetry community.
+
+Verify that your intended content broadly applies to the OpenTelemetry Community
+. Appropriate content includes:
+
+- New OpenTelemetry capabilities
+- OpenTelemetry projects updates
+- Updates from Special Interest Groups
+- Tutorials and walkthroughs
+- OpenTelemetry Integrations
+
+Unsuitable content includes:
+
+- Vendor product pitches
+
+To submit a blog post,
+[raise an issue](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/issues/new?title=New%20Blog%20Post:%20%3Ctitle%3E)
+with the title and a short description of your blog post. If you are not a
+[Member](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/community-membership.md#member),
+you also need to provide a _sponsor_ for your blog post, who is a Member (by
+that definition) and who is willing to provide a first review of your blog post.
+
+If you do not raise an issue before providing your PR, we may request you to do
+so before providing a review.
+
+## Submit a blog post
+
+You can submit a blog post either by forking this repository and writing it
+locally or by using the GitHub UI. In both cases we ask you to follow the
+instructions provided by the
+[blog post template](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/tree/main/archetypes/blog.md).
+
+**Note**: Before writing a blog post, ask yourself if your content also might be
+a good addition to the documentation. If the answer is "yes", create a new issue
+or pull request (PR) with your content to get it added to the docs.
+
+### Fork and write locally
+
+After you've set up the local fork you can create a blog post using a template.
+Follow these steps to create a post from the template:
+
+1. Run the following command from the repository root:
+
+ ```sh
+ npx hugo new content/en/blog/2023/short-name-for-post.md
+ ```
+
+ If your post has images or other assets, run the following command:
+
+ ```sh
+ npx hugo new content/en/blog/2023/short-name-for-post/index.md
+ ```
+
+1. Edit the Markdown file at the path you provided in the previous command. The
+ file is initialized from the blog-post starter under
+ [archetypes](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/tree/main/archetypes/).
+
+1. Put assets, like images or other files, into the folder you've created.
+
+1. When your post is ready, submit it through a pull request.
+
+### Use the GitHub UI
+
+If you prefer not to create a local fork, you can use the GitHub UI to create a
+new post. Follow these steps to add a post using the UI:
+
+1. Go to the
+ [blog post template](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/tree/main/archetypes/blog.md)
+ and click on **Copy raw content** at the top right of the menu.
+
+1. Select
+ [Create a new file](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/new/main).
+
+1. Paste the content from the template you copied in the first step.
+
+1. Name your file, for example
+ `content/en/blog/2022/short-name-for-your-blog-post/index.md`.
+
+1. Edit the Markdown file in GitHub.
+
+1. When your post is ready, select **Propose changes** and follow the
+ instructions.
+
+## Publication timelines
+
+The OpenTelemetry blog doesn't follow a strict publication timeline, this means:
+
+- Your blog post will be published when it has all the approvals required.
+- Publication can be postponed if needed, but maintainers can't guarantee
+ publication at or before a certain date.
+- Certain blog posts (major announcements) take precedence and may be published
+ before your blog post.

+We don't have an official style guide yet, but the current OpenTelemetry
+documentation style is inspired by the following style guides:
+
+- [Google Developer Documentation Style Guide](https://developers.google.com/style)
+- [Kubernetes Style Guide](https://kubernetes.io/docs/contribute/style/style-guide/)
+
+The following sections contain guidance that is specific to the OpenTelemetry
+project.
+
+## OpenTelemetry.io word list
+
+A list of OpenTelemetry-specific terms and words to be used consistently across
+the site.
+
+
+| Term | Usage |
+| --- | --- |
+| OpenTelemetry | OpenTelemetry should always be capitalized. Don't use Open-Telemetry. |
+| OTel | OTel is the accepted short form of OpenTelemetry. Don't use OTEL. |
+| Collector | When referring to the OpenTelemetry Collector, always capitalize Collector. |
+| Repository | Code repository, lowercase when in the middle of a sentence. Don't use "repo" or "repos". |
+| OTEP | OpenTelemetry Enhancement Proposal. Write "OTEPs" as plural form. Don't write "OTep" or "otep". |
+| OpAMP | Open Agent Management Protocol. Don't write "OPAMP" or "opamp" in descriptions or instructions. |
+| OTLP | OpenTelemetry Protocol. Don't write "OTlP" or "otlp" in descriptions or instructions. |
+
+
+Make sure that proper nouns, such as other CNCF projects or third-party tools,
+are properly written and use the original capitalization. For example, write
+"PostgreSQL" instead of "postgre". For a full list, check the
+[`.textlintrc.yml`](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io/blob/main/.textlintrc.yml)
+file.
+
+See also the [Glossary](/docs/concepts/glossary/) for a list of OpenTelemetry
+terms and their definition.
