1658876 - The devtools contribution documentation should avoid including its own cloning and build instructions

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Documentation, task, P2)

Description

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

The doc on https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools/getting-started/build.html repeats a lot of the instructions from https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/index.html and should probably avoid that, because it also lacks some of the details that are available in the more general documentation. (although the general documentation could use some improvements too)

Another examples of duplicated content.

General docs & DevTools clone:
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools/contributing.html
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/contributing_code.html
