Brads All Encompassing Compendium of the Entirety of XDR Knowledge

BAECEXD (pronounced "bake ext") is a set of notes about how to actually get things done in XDR. Since XDR is a rapidly evolving landscape, some of these notes are likely to be out of date, flawed, or just outright wrong. Use at your own risk.

Rules

1. All files MUST follow the naming scheme. <Major Topic> <Minor Topic> Notes.md e.g. Salt Upgrade Notes.md . The first letter of each word should be capitalized.

2. All files MUST follow the proper markdown format. ( work in progress )

   # <filename>
   <Description of notes or project>
        
   ## <Section Title>
   <Today's date>
        
   <arbitrary notes>
        
   ## <Section Title>
   <Today's date>
        
   <arbitrary notes>
   

   # Salt Notes.md
   Salt is the configuration management tool
   
   ## Section 1
   02/28/2020
   
   Salt sucks and we should use puppet.
   
   ## Section 2
   03/15/2020
   
   Salt version 2019.2.3 should always be made public on the internet. 
   

3. To add a newline that is visible in markdown on the github website, add two newlines to the .md file. DO NOT add <br> or \ to the ends of lines. The primary place to view these files is in a text editor not on github website!

4. Use three backticks to indicate a section of code or terminal output and single backticks to indicate technical commands or terms.

5. When referencing other files use a link in the format See <file name> for more details. e.g. See Salt Notes for more details.

6. For PRs, push directly to master unless they are major changes.

7. Be kind and think about the engineer after you.
