Folders, naming standards, reference numbers and other structural standards are yet to be agreed.
To add/amend standards in this repository, it must be cloned. Changes made and then a Pull Request (PR) made which will then be reviewed and accepted and/or rejected. In some cases, reviewers may require additional changes to be made and the PR can be resubmitted.
Devices being used to make amendments will need Git installed.
Standard development type tools can be used to manage the change process. Many people will have a favourite code editor that supports Markdown such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code (which is free for all use and available on different platforms). VS Code has a number of extensions that support management of GitHub repositories.
For anyone who wants something more visual than a text editor, Typora is recommended. Typora provides a visual editor (WYSIWYG) making edits much easier for non-coders.
