This section provides a good foundation for new users, addressing the PR objective of enhancing documentation for those unfamiliar with CI and Artemis.
18-22: 🛠️ Refactor suggestionAdd an introduction to the Build Agent View section.
While including content from an external file is good practice, it would be helpful to provide a brief introduction to the Build Agent View before the include directive. This would give readers context about what to expect in this section.
Consider adding a short introductory paragraph like this:
Build Agent View ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Build Agent View provides a detailed look at the individual build agents in your Artemis Local CI setup. This view allows you to monitor the status, performance, and current tasks of each build agent, helping you manage your CI resources effectively. .. include:: local-ci-build-agent-view.inc
24-27: 🛠️ Refactor suggestionAddress naming inconsistency and add an introduction to the Build Overview View section.
There are two issues to address in this section:
Naming Inconsistency: The section title mentions "Build Overview View", but the included file is named "local-ci-build-queue-view.inc". This inconsistency could lead to confusion.
Missing Introduction: Similar to the previous section, a brief introduction would provide helpful context.
Here's a suggested revision:
Build Overview View ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Build Overview View provides a high-level summary of all build processes in your Artemis Local CI environment. This view allows you to monitor the overall status of your CI pipeline, including pending builds, current activities, and recent results. .. include:: local-ci-build-overview-view.incAlso, ensure that the filename of the included file matches the section title (i.e., rename "local-ci-build-queue-view.inc" to "local-ci-build-overview-view.inc" if appropriate).
1-27: 🛠️ Refactor suggestionEnhance the document with additional sections and information.
While the current structure provides a good foundation, the document could be more comprehensive and user-friendly, especially for newcomers to Artemis and CI. Consider the following suggestions to improve the document:
- Add a "Getting Started" section that explains how to set up and configure Artemis Local CI.
- Include a "Troubleshooting" section to address common issues users might encounter.
- Add a "Best Practices" section to guide users on how to effectively use Artemis Local CI.
- Consider adding a "Glossary" section to define key terms related to CI and Artemis.
- Include a "Further Reading" section with links to more detailed documentation or external resources.
- Add a brief conclusion or summary at the end of the document.
Here's a suggested outline for the enhanced document:
Continuous Integration ====================== [Current introduction] Getting Started ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [Instructions on setting up and configuring Artemis Local CI] Build Agent View ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [Current section with added introduction] Build Overview View ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [Current section with added introduction and corrected file name] Best Practices ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [Guidelines for effectively using Artemis Local CI] Troubleshooting ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [Common issues and their solutions] Glossary ^^^^^^^^ [Definitions of key terms] Further Reading ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [Links to additional resources] Conclusion ^^^^^^^^^^ [Brief summary and closing thoughts]This structure would provide a more comprehensive guide that caters to users with varying levels of experience with CI and Artemis, further addressing the PR objective of improving documentation for new users.
