Adding new records#
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for developers to create decision records.
Adopted#
Solution Adopted
- In the
adopted
directory, create a new markdown file for the decision record. - Name the file using the format
<short-description>.md
, replacing<short-description>
with a brief description of the decision. For example,standardize-html-img-tag.md
- Use the Decision Record Template provided below, and fill in the relevant information for your decision record.
- If you've added the tags correctly, the
hooks/page_links_by_tag.py
script will automatically add a markdown link to the new record in the appropriate list(s) on the website the next time themkdocs build
command is run.
