Help for newer GitHub users (links to GitHub docs)

[mjang]

Short version: we want to help you help us. This post includes links to GitHub docs, which can help you work with our open source documentation repository:

• Discussions (this forum)

• Creating issues

• Proposing changes (in "Pull requests")

• If you want your own copy of our documentation source code, Fork a repository: https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/fork-a-repo

One clarification I'd provide: forking is necessary if you want to contribute to the NGINX documentation and you're not a member of our GitHub org. (Some GitHub org members have write access to the repo and can thus push branches directly without forking.)

I should have deleted this when I posted #439
