Docs update

  • What is the current behavior?

Due to being implemented in the Arduino CLI code base, some very important developer-targeted technical documentation is hosted in this repository and published on its website:
https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/latest/
Since the most obvious use of Arduino CLI is as a standalone tool, this might give the impression that the documentation is only applicable to Arduino CLI. However, since Arduino CLI is used in some form in most of Arduino's development tools, much of the information is universal.

  • What is the new behavior?

The documentation home page mentions Arduino CLI's role in the other official Arduino development software and explains that the documentation content is not exclusively applicable to the Arduino CLI tool.

Not breaking.

  • Other information:

There was a previous attempt at this last year: #819

…opment software

People might get the impression that, since the documentation is in the Arduino CLI repo, it only applies to Arduino CLI.
However, since Arduino CLI is used in some form in most of Arduino's development tools, much of the information is
universal.
