Write
For Linode

Work with modern documentation processes

Linode's library is hosted on GitHub, and by contributing to the library, you'll be adding to your portfolio on GitHub. Our library is also maintained under the docs-as-code methodology, where the tools you use to write documentation are the same tools used to write software. As a contributor, you'll be:

• authoring your drafts in Markdown;
• previewing your drafts with Hugo, our static site generator;
• version controlling your work with Git; and
• reviewing Linode's automatic unit tests of your drafts, which will check for spelling, styling, and other issues.

Note: If you’re not familiar with one or more of these tools, we’ll provide resources to help you adopt them.

Because docs-as-code is becoming more popular, the skills you’ll exercise when writing for Linode are transferable to other work. In particular, documentation is a valuable asset for open-source projects (as evidenced by programs like Google’s Season of Docs), and we hope that Write For Linode authors are well-prepared to contribute to open-source projects too.
