S3. How to use this guide

What this page helps you do​

Understand the layout of the guide so you can move quickly instead of reading it like a manual.

Why it matters​

This repo is not meant to be a rigid course. It is meant to help people move forward from different starting points.

You should already have​

  • a rough sense of whether you want a guided path, a checkpoint jump, or a troubleshooting answer

Skip this page if​

  • the page code system already makes sense to you

Then go to S4. Choose your path.

What to do​

Use the guide in one of these modes:

  1. Guided beginner path Start at S2. Quick start and follow the next-step links.
  2. Jump by checkpoint Start at S5. What you already have and jump to the right branch page.
  3. Solve one problem Jump to a troubleshooting page such as T1. App works locally but not online.

Page codes exist so humans and agents can talk about the same page quickly.

Examples:

  • F1 means the GitHub foundations page
  • H2 means the VPS path
  • R8 means the launch checklist

Use the next-step links unless you already know a page does not apply to you.

Common mistakes​

  • reading every page even after you already finished that part
  • skipping a foundations page because it feels basic
  • confusing a branch page with a full guide page

Next step​

Go to S5. What you already have.

Advanced notes​

Agents should use the page codes in their reports so a user can jump straight to the most relevant page.
