After running ``tox``, the documentation will be available for viewing
in HTML format in the ``doc/build/`` directory.
Terminology
===========
A note on terminology use in the manual:
This manual is in service of OpenDev, but does so primarily by
documenting how developers and project drivers can use the
infrastructure to accomplish their work.
We strive for consistent terminology that matches what developers and
our tooling use, even if some hosted projects use different
terminology.
Generally speaking these terms should be used as follows:
Project: The overall idea that there is a bunch of people working on a
bunch of code/text/etc. It can also refer to that actual collection
of code/text/etc (for instance, a project can be bundled up into a
tarball, and extracted into a directory). When a tool interacts with
that collection of code/text/etc, it interacts with the project (even
if it does so via the mechanism of git).
Repository: There are times when one needs to refer to the actual
source code management system of a project, that is, "git", and the
actual technical implementations of that SCM. In those cases where it
is important to distinguish the actual attributes of the SCM from the
project, it is useful to use the word "repository".
