Implementation notes

  • Use this Getting Started doc as a navigation page first: the local clone mirrors the source structure and links each heading back to the authoritative upstream section.
  • Primary decision areas: Updating, Git installs, pip installs, What happens during an update (git installs), Updating against a non-default branch: --branch. Read those source anchors before changing installs, credentials, automation, or runtime configuration.
  • Useful search signals for this doc: updating, uninstalling, installs, update, latest. These are derived from the public title and summary so the clone remains lightweight.

Decision table

Best fitGetting Started documentation

Escalate to sourceCommands, credentials, runtime behavior

Use the upstream page as the authority for current syntax, release changes, and security-sensitive steps.

Verification checklist

  1. Use this page to orient yourself within Getting Started, then open the linked source page for exact current syntax.
  2. Start with the source section for Updating; do not rely on the local summary for commands or secrets.
  3. Check platform, install method, provider, and credential assumptions before changing a real environment.
  4. Review the source section for Git installs if the page involves setup, automation, messaging, or runtime behavior.
  5. After applying anything from the source, run the smallest relevant smoke test before widening scope.
