How microsoftdocs/terminal works
This repository is the Markdown source for Windows Terminal documentation, not the terminal product itself. Readers use the published docs to learn installation, everyday terminal features, customization, and advanced workflows; contributors edit the corresponding source files. The README documents that published pages link back to source, but no source excerpts establish calls or processing between documentation sections. The map therefore groups the major documented topics without implying an internal runtime pipeline.
