Unable to set up wporg-developer local environment based on instructions

[flexseth]

Edit: Is it necessary to have an existing local dev environment and also the phpdoc-parser package working for this to function correctly based on instructions?

Greetings! I am trying to contribute some to DevHub to update documentation via PRs. As I understand, some of this information is in Posts on the WP site that runs DevHub, which will need to be re-created locally to most easily edit this documentation.

When following the setup scripts (this is my first time using composer) - I'm getting API rate limits that require me to set up token which I haven't been able to get configured correctly.

Steps to re-create

• Start in a fresh environment
• Clone this repo gh repo clone WordPress/wporg-developer
• Follow steps outlined in repository to get it up and running.

Who does this effect?

First time contributors to parts of the DevHub.

Possible issue origination

It looks like the original issue stems from:

Failed to execute git checkout 'c7c8e9b04a42da846de1e4a0fa48555b0ce82780' -- && git reset --hard 'c7  
  c8e9b04a42da846de1e4a0fa48555b0ce82780' --                                                            

  fatal: reference is not a tree: c7c8e9b04a42da846de1e4a0fa48555b0ce82780                              

  It looks like the commit hash is not available in the repository, maybe the commit was removed from   
  the branch? Run "composer update wporg/wporg-parent-2021" to resolve this.    

Error Message

When I try to run the update commands, I'm being rate limited?

GitHub API limit (60 calls/hr) is exhausted, could not fetch https://api.github.com/repos/WordPress/phpdoc-parser/commits/7fc2227d2d4fb73f9f0b6e233413f3f9f9840e80. Create a GitHub OAuth token to go over the API rate limit. You can also wait until 2024-03-14 20:46:47 for the rate limit to reset.

Possible solution

Is it possible to update the packages on the remote upstream so everything installs properly for a new contributor to this repository?

When I run yarn setup:tools the following error occurs:

Hi @flexseth, to edit post content you don't need a local environment. The best way to contribute currently is to raise a documentation issue at https://github.com/WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker/issues/new/choose so that a docs team member can action the change.

[flexseth]

@adamwoodnz understood. Was looking to use the Block Editor to build out/edit the docs if possible, really quick with creating content via the UI.

Either way I'll keep the ticket open for a little bit to see if anyone has a moment to look at a fix. Markdown works! I'll close out in two weeks.

Don't know if the token took a minute to work, or the package updated, but the enviro seems to be installing now

@adamwoodnz, @dd32 - I'm gonna close this.

Thinking it was a token needed to use composer
