git-tips/tips

This system is a documentation infrastructure project designed to automate the generation of Git usage guides. It maintains a structured, data-driven workflow where a central JSON file serves as the source of truth for tips, which are compiled into a README and a GitBook site using HonKit. The repository also enforces community standards through contributor guidelines and a code of conduct.

The project has been reorganized to support a structured, data-driven documentation workflow. A new \tips.json\ file now serves as the single source of truth for all Git tips, which are automatically compiled into the \README.md\ via a new \build-readme.js\ script. This change introduces categorized navigation (e.g., Basic Operations, Branching, Stashing) and supports multiple command alternatives per tip. To facilitate community contributions, the repository now includes a \contributing.md\ guide, a \CODE\_OF\_CONDUCT.md\, and a \LICENSE\. Additionally, a \book.json\ file has been added to support GitBook documentation generation, and a \.gitignore\ file has been introduced to exclude build artifacts and IDE configurations.

The project now includes HonKit (v6.1.7) as a development dependency to build documentation from the ./docs directory, accessible via the new 'docs:build' npm script. This change introduces the necessary package manifests and lockfile to support this documentation generation workflow.

git-tips/tips was measured the same way every project in this corpus was: the same rubric, at a pinned commit, with the result published in full. Point a surveyor at a repository you know and see whether you agree with it.
