This repository is synchronized with GitBook, a tool that allows creating modern and intuitive documentation pages. You can find the PrestaShop English documentation here.

Consequently, both interfaces (GitBook and GitHub) are open to contributions.

By saying that this repository is synchronized with GitBook’s documentation, it means that edited contents are updated in real-time in GitHub and GitBook. If you change the content of any page on GitBook, your edits will be pushed to this repository. Conversely, commits pushed to this repository are imported on GitBook.

This option is particularly adapted if you are not used to working on GitHub yet.

1. Create your GitHub account, if you do not have one already.
2. Browse to the target file.
3. Click the "Edit" button and make your changes in the editor.‌

4. Once you are done, go to the bottom of the page, enter a name and a description and click on "Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request".
5. Finally, click on "Propose file change". GitHub will automatically create a new fork and branch on your own GitHub account, then suggest a pull request to this repository.
6. Once the pull request is submitted, just wait for the product content manager to come back to you.

Please do not commit your changes directly. It is important to create a pull request so that your work can be proofread.

This option is particularly adapted if you already work on GitHub or if you feel comfortable doing so.

1. Create your GitHub account, if you do not have one already.
2. Fork this repository to your Github account.
3. Clone your fork to your local machine.
4. Create a branch in your local clone for your changes.
5. Change the files in your branch.
6. Push the changed branch to your fork in your GitHub account.
7. Create a pull request for your changes. If you need help to make a pull request, read the GitHub help page about creating pull requests.
8. Wait for the product content manager to either include your change in the codebase or comment on possible adjustments.
