How to contribute to the NorESM documentation

• step 1: Fork this repository as shown in the figure below.

• step 2: Go online to NorESM documentation and whenever you would like to update the documentation, click on "Edit on GitHub".

• step 3: Then click on the "pen" (see image below) and write your text (reStructuredText)

• step 4: Save your changes in your forked repository and create a pull request.

If you do not like to update the documentation online and prefer to use your favorite editor locally on your machine/laptop, you can skip step-3 and 4 and then clone your forked repository to edit the files locally.

$ conda install -c conda-forge sphinxcontrib-bibtex
$ conda install -c conda-forge sphinx_rtd_theme

Copy NorESMdoc repository to local
