> Contributor-facing guides that live in the repository and open on GitHub.

import { LinkCard, CardGrid } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';

These contributor-facing guides live in the repository's `docs/guides/` directory and open on GitHub. They cover operational and tooling topics for people working on Tidings itself, so most self-hosters won't need them.
