wtf is opensource.guide?

Open Source Guides is a collection of resources for individuals, communities, and companies who want to learn how to run and contribute to an open-source project. The guides live at opensource.guide and are created and curated by GitHub, though they are not exclusive to GitHub products. The goal of the project was to bring together community best practices, not to promote what GitHub or any single entity thinks is best. To illustrate points, the guides use examples and quotations drawn from the broader open-source community. GitHub started this project after noticing there weren't enough resources for people creating open-source projects from scratch. The site is built using Jekyll, a tool that converts text files into static websites. The content is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, a Creative Commons license that allows reuse with attribution. The repository also includes a legal disclaimer reminding readers that the guides offer practical advice, not legal counsel. Anyone wanting to provide feedback or contribute to the guides can follow the contributing guidelines included in the repository. The initial release was authored and reviewed by a large group of contributors from across the open-source community.
