Clarify where are located the buildpacks on Github

[collimarco]

From your official website it seems impossible to find the repositories of the buildpacks on Github.

Can you please clarify where are they located?

For example, take a Rails app that I want to pack, how can I get a list of all the buildpacks (Heroku, Pivotal, etc.) and their repo on Github (i.e. Github link)?

Hey @collimarco , sorry that you found it hard to find! The Buildpacks project doesn't maintain buildpacks - instead, we support vendors who offer them, and register them in the Buildpacks Registry. We do have a link to it on the website, but this is valuable feedback that we could perhaps discovering/the relevance of the registry a clearer point. (cc @buildpacks/learning-contributors )

One other place users can discover buildpacks/builders is by running pack builder suggest, which should return a list of builders. By then inspecting them (pack builder inspect <builder-name>), that should give a homepage of the Builder/buildpack, which will often be a Github link. That is a more circutuous route, though, and we'd generally recommend that users discover Buildpacks by selecting the Github logo on the registry pages for buildpacks.

Thanks for the reply!

Two notes:

• IMHO the Github icon is not very visible in the registry (I didn't see it at first)
• And, more important, Heroku buildpacks don't have any link to the Github repos

Yea, I agree that Github icon is not noticeable.
