This is the source repository for the OpenTelemetry website, project documentation and blog. The site is built using Hugo and hosted on Netlify.

Get involved

If you are new to OpenTelemetry and just get started with it, you are in a perfect position to help us get better: the website and documentation is the entry point for newcomers like you, so if something is unclear or something is missing let us know!

Read on to learn about other ways on how you can help.

Adding a project to the OpenTelemetry Registry

For details, see Adding to the registry.

Submitting a blog post

You can submit a blog post either by forking this repository and writing it locally or by using the GitHub UI. In both cases we ask you to follow the instructions provided by the blog post template.

Note: Before writing a blog post, please ask yourself, if your content also might be a good addition to the documentation. If the answer is yes, create a new issue/PR with your content to get it added to the docs.

Fork & Write locally

Follow the setup instructions then, to create a skeletal blog post, run the following command from the repository root:

npx hugo new content/en/blog/2023/short-name-for-post.md

If your post will have images or other assets, instead run:

npx hugo new content/en/blog/2023/short-name-for-post/index.md

Edit the markdown file at the path you provided in the previous command. The file is initialized from the blog-post starter under archetypes.

Put assets, if any, like images into the folder created.

Once your post is ready, submit it through a pull request.

Using the GitHub UI

  • Go to the blog post template and click on Copy raw content at the top right of the menu.
  • Create a new file.
  • Paste the content from the template.
  • Name your file, e.g. content/en/blog/2022/short-name-for-your-blog-post/index.md
  • Start editing the markdown file.
  • Once your post is ready click on Propose changes at the bottom.
