[Windows] How to setup Github + GitKraken and start contribute

Hey fellow, if you seek to contribute with pirl docs, the following guides should be usefull for people who didn't use github.

In this guide, you will see how to create an account, fork the main repo and clone it to start to contribute

Requirements

Firstly, go to github and create an account if you doesn't have one yet

Then I recommand you to use GitKraken (free for open source, it's our case), you can download it on https://www.gitkraken.com/

When it's done, connect with your github account.

You'll need a text editor, you can use any one you want.

For instance I use notepad++ : https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/

You have now the requirements needed to setup things !

Setup

Go to the official repository : https://github.com/pirl/pirl-docs

Then click on fork

You can retreive the fork under Your repositories

Then you can access it by clicking on the name

Now click on Code then copy the URL

Go on gitkraken then click on clone a repo

Choose your path then paste your previously copied URL

You can now open the cloned repo

You will need to download mdbook for windows at https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/releases

Extract it next to your pirl-docs folder

Then go on File -> Preferences...

Then select PowerShell under Default Terminal

You can exit Preferences.

You all now set to start contribute ! See the next guide learn to how to write your first docs
