Hey there! For a PR affecting mostly a single file, you need to have a single commit. For this, you need to squash the commits, which you can do using git rebase -i.
You also need to run ci/format.sh to format the files so they pass the checks :)
These are some basic guidelines, then we can look into working on the rest of the PR.

Hi there! Are you still interested in working on this? I would be interested in helping you out with formatting and wording. I think not a lot of info here is Void specific, and the page probably fits better outside the installation section, but there is some information that seems hard to gather from other places, and I think it would make sense to include.
What do you think?

i reply to clarify the situation. your offer is nice thank you for that. but it's a little late now. i am not using void linux anymore at this moment. i don't wish to bash void linux, i think it is a nice distro, but i had too much little problems with it. i think it's the combination of packages versions and my specific hardware that caused them. anyway since i'm not on void, i cannot tell if current situation improved or not. i cannot tell if parts of the problems i reported are now solved or not. for what it's worth, i tested manjaro and artix linux lately and i can say, the "mac-fr" and "mac-us" tty keyboard inherited from arch linux are still completely broken, so the "mac-fr-ext_new.map.gz" file i pointed to, at least still seems necessary. you'd be better off grabbing the content of this PR and make a new one from it. almost one year went by since the submission of this. everything needs to be re-tested again with void's current packages offering and compatibility with that particular hardware ("macbookpro12,1" early 2015 model).
maybe it would have been better at the time if what i had made was just accepted as it was, and then being improved upon by anyone seeing necessity to do so, instead of blocking it until it is perfect for inclusion. since: unperfect doc is better than no doc.
but again, i'm not bashing on void, i still think it is a nice distro and i might test it again at some point. until that time come though, i cannot finish this attempt at filling documentation for it.
That's unfortunate, but I understand. Thanks for letting me know, I will see if I can move the contents somewhere! Take care c:
Another note, seems like some drivers are broken (for now?) with wpa_supplicant, but work with iwd.

for what it's worth, i'm using artix at the moment, and everything works for my particular hardware. my wifi driver is brcmfmac.
also i have found the issue about bad keymap for tty: it is files missing in kbd package. on devuan in console-data package, it have additional keymap that are missing in kbd. "mac-macbook-fr" (there is both "de" and "fr" but unfortunately no "us"). after i picked up the "mac-macbook-fr" tty keymap from devuan and put it in artix, my tty keymap problem was instantly gone. all distro using kbd misses these.
