Add comprehensive GitHub Copilot instructions for heads-wiki development
This PR adds a comprehensive .github/copilot-instructions.md file that provides GitHub Copilot with detailed instructions on how to work effectively with the heads-wiki Jekyll documentation site.
What's Included
The instructions cover all essential aspects of working with this repository:
Setup and Build Process:
- Complete dependency installation (Ruby, Jekyll, just-the-docs theme)
- Exact build commands with validated timing expectations (~1.4 seconds)
- Local development server setup using
local_config.yml
Repository Structure:
- Detailed breakdown of the 34 Markdown files across directories
- Explanation of Jekyll front matter and navigation system
- Configuration file differences between local and production
Validation Scenarios:
- Required manual testing steps after making changes
- End-to-end scenarios for adding new documentation
- Navigation and rendering verification procedures
Common Development Tasks:
- Adding new documentation with proper Jekyll front matter
- Modifying existing content while maintaining structure
- Working with images and assets
Important Notes:
- No CI/testing infrastructure exists - validation is entirely manual
- Sass deprecation warnings are expected and cosmetic
- Theme customization guidelines and deployment information
Validation
All instructions have been thoroughly tested end-to-end, including:
- Fresh installation and setup process
- Build timing measurements (consistently ~1.4 seconds)
- Site serving and functionality verification
- Adding new documentation and confirming it appears correctly
- Manual validation scenarios
The instructions follow the specified format with imperative tone and include explicit "NEVER CANCEL" warnings with appropriate timeout recommendations for build commands.
Fixes #200.

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses
I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:
esm.ubuntu.com
- Triggering command:
/usr/lib/apt/methods/https(dns block)If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:
- Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
- Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Learn more Copilot coding agent tips in the docs.
