GitHub Profile README Generator
Generate GitHub profile README easily with the latest add-ons
GitHub Profile README Generator is an OSS(Open Source Software) that provides a cool interface to generate GitHub profile README in markdown. The tool aims to provide a hassle-free experience to add trending addons as profile visitors count, GitHub stats, dynamic blog posts, etc. The profile should be neat and minimal to give a clear overview of the work. Non-uniform icons, too much content, too many images/gifs distract visitors to see your actual work. To solve this, GitHub Profile README Generator came into existence. So many developers contributed to the project and made it more awesome to use. You can contribute too to make it grow even further. The profile README is created by creating a new repository that’s the same name as your username. For example, my GitHub username is rahuldkjain so I created a new repository with the name rahuldkjain. Note: at the time of this writing, in order to access the profile README feature, the letter-casing must match your GitHub username. -

An API documentation generator for JavaScript
JSDoc 3 is an API documentation generator for JavaScript, similar to Javadoc or phpDocumentor. You add documentation comments directly to your source code, right alongside the code itself.

It is assumed that you will want to document things like modules, namespaces, classes, methods, method parameters, and so on. JSDoc comments should generally be placed immediately before the code being documented. Each comment must start with a /** sequence in order to be recognized by the JSDoc parser. Adding a description is simple, just type the description you want in the documentation comment. Once your code is commented, you can use the JSDoc 3 tool to generate an HTML website from your source files. -

webpack.js.org
Repository for webpack documentation and more!
At its core, webpack is a static module bundler for modern JavaScript applications. When webpack processes your application, it internally builds a dependency graph from one or more entry points and then combines every module your project needs into one or more bundles, which are static assets to serve your content from. Now that we've covered much of the backlog of missing documentation, we are starting to heavily review each section of the site's content to sort and structure it appropriately. Since version 4.0.0, webpack does not require a configuration file to bundle your project. Nevertheless, it is incredibly configurable to better fit your needs. This document is intended to give a high-level overview of these concepts, while providing links to detailed concept-specific use cases. An entry point indicates which module webpack should use to begin building out its internal dependency graph. -

Office Docs PowerShell
PowerShell Reference for Office Products
This repository aggregates documentation, examples, and cmdlet references for PowerShell modules that manage Microsoft 365 and Office services. It collects guidance for admins on tasks such as Exchange Online mail flow, SharePoint site provisioning, Teams configuration, and tenant-level policy settings—often including parameter examples, common scenarios, and troubleshooting notes. The docs are structured so operators can copy/paste ready examples into their automation scripts or adapt them for bulk changes using CSV-driven loops. Because cloud management frequently involves idempotent, auditable operations, the content emphasizes safe patterns (what changes will do, UI equivalents, and rollback hints). Versioning matters here: the repository tracks changes as Microsoft updates service APIs and cmdlets, helping teams stay current and avoid deprecated workflows.
