Gatsby: Where is the docs source for gatsby-plugin-cockpit actually located?

[nevotheless]

Ahoy and merry Christmas 🎄 🎅 🎅 ,

i searched through the gatsby package docs and found a few errors here and there and wanted to edit https://www.gatsbyjs.org/packages/gatsby-plugin-cockpit/ for example but when i click on

edit this page on GitHub

it redirects me to the directory where all the packages are in but not to this specific one. In fact i couldn't find it at all in the repo.

Where do the docs really come from is now my question, they have to be somewhere right?
Or am i just not supposed to edit this page?

Thanks in advance for any information about how your docs are build n'stuff. 🙂

Hi, based on the Readme content it seems like andrewn/gatsby-plugin-cockpit-temp is the source.

Unfortunately, the author didn't set a repository field in their package.json, so there's no way of knowing for sure which repo is the source. For all we know, it might not even be on GitHub.

Merry Christmas @ununseptium 🎄

The docs for gatsby-plugin-cockpit are coming from npm

For packages that are not internal to the Gatsby organisation (and therefore not in this monorepo), docs are retrieved from the package's README on npm and in this case https://www.npmjs.com/package/gatsby-plugin-cockpit

Relevant code that does this is at https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/blob/a13c81295ccb4b605464e80826317749926ef6f4/www/src/templates/template-docs-remote-packages.js#L44 and https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/blob/a13c81295ccb4b605464e80826317749926ef6f4/www/gatsby-node.js#L395

If the npm package has the url key set, we link to it or if not, we link to https://github.com/search?q=${npmPackage.name}

Hope this clears the confusion!
