The official tutorial to discover the main features and concepts of TYPO3. It is based on the Introduction Package.
Home Page: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-getting-started/master/en-us/
the documentation at https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-getting-started/11.5/en-us/Extensions/LegacyManagement.html is outdated, see https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-core/main/en-us/Changelog/11.4/Feature-94996-ConsiderAllComposerInstalledExtensionsAsActive.html
Because all extensions present in the system are considered to be active, the Extension Manager UI is adapted to not allow changing the active state of extensions anymore for composer based instances. Respectively the commands extension:activate and extension:deactivate are disabled in Composer managed systems as well.

We have an open PR with (useful) information on how to use Redis with TYPO3.
Linked to #227
Currently, it list "Documentation Team". Should rather be "Community", because
in the introduction, there is "register for slack", but the link leads to a 404 error ...
Section "Configure the first language" covers setting up the default language.
Image does not match. Image shows 3 languages. Perhaps change the image or change the text.
TYPO3 adds a "default" language to the site configuration during installation.
It does not. If "Introduction package is installed, this does, but if TYPO3 is installed in some other way (e.g. via Composer with base distribution), it does not.
The installation page does not handle installing with Introduction Package. This is covered at a later point as an option. So I think in the description we should assume a base installation (which does not create site configuration at all).
e.g. install with:
composer create-project typo3/cms-base-distribution:"^11" t3base11
It was discussed at the Fluid V3 workshop that a reference to Templating be added to the Getting Started Tutorial. It is logical to assume that once you have installed the CMS and are familair with the backend, you'll probably want to start learning about how templates are made in TYPO3.
Currently no reference is made to Templating in the Getting Started Tutorial. We currently assume that a new user will find the T3 Fluid documentation on their own. Current Fluid documenation is extensive and there is a concern that new users wont find in the introductory documentation first.
This taks is to create a new page, either in Next Steps or create a standalone section that contains an overview of templating in TYPO3 and introduces new users to Fluid.
New introductory documentation for Fluid (v2 and v3) has been written and will be added at the same time.

This part does not work:
Then run:
extension:setup
I assume it should be composer extension:setup or vendor/bin/typo3cms extension:setup`

Opcache section was moved to "performance tuning" but the section is not so much about (just) performance but mentions some settings which could be problematic if set differently, specifically the opcache.save_comments which must be enabled for Extbase.
Also, the page offers very little for tuning TYPO3.
Initially, the content was moved to this seperate page in order not to clutter up the system requirements page.
Related: #225
The page 'AdvancedClipboard/Index.html' shows content that is not in the tree - I suspect this comes from the old standard content used in older versions of the tutorial
Seen from relase 8.7.20 after installing the Introduction Package
Currently "Getting Started" is for all target groups (developers, integrators, editors). Developers not so much, though.
Problems:
Possible solutions:
This can be done with captions in toctree (as in "Writing Documenation) so that top level menu items can stay on top level.
However, I think these solutions should be adressed on a more general scale.

both contain a description of TCA, TSconfig, TypoScript. Might be enough to have the description in one place (TYPO3 Explained) and link to it?

Does a French version exist that is still maintained?
I believe currently, the branches 7.6 and 9.5 are pretty much up-to-date for the respective version. I propose to take down the 8.7 branch.
While updating "latest" for 9.5, I learned that updating screenshots etc. is considerably more work than anticipated. While I do think it would be nice to have an up to date tutorial f. 8.7 as well, it is currently not realistic. So I suggest to remove 8.7 branch and take it offline.
The following URL return a 404 instead of displaying their contents.
Also, the URL:
https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-getting-started/main/en-us/UserManagement/Index.html
redirects to:
https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-getting-started/main/en-us/Setup/BackendUsers.html
instead of displaying its content.
Currently, the "Getting Started Tutorial" version "latest (9.5)" uses outdated screenshots and descriptions.
This is confusing for TYPO3 newbies such as me and makes onboarding to TYPO3 complicated.
E.g., https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/GettingStartedTutorial/GeneralPrinciples/BackendAndFrontend/Index.html has a screenshot BackendAboutModules.png which is based on "TYPO3 CMS 7.6.3-dev".
Also, this screenshot shows items in the module menu that actually don't exist when following this getting started tutorial up to this point.
Statements such as "It is called the About Modules view and can be reached using the help menu in the top bar [...]" don't seem to be valid with 9.5: clicking the circled question mark, a drop-down menu appears. But it does not contain an "About Modules" entry.
Most depends on Version 9.

The Info Module for TYPO3 v12 is missing in the documentation. There is no site for it.
There should be a documentation for the v12 about Info Modules.
[12]
Finding the maybe already existing page, or If nothing can be found create a new page for the v12 Version (Info Modules)
@wowaTYPO3 helped me to find this problem
Currently,
Probably best (in this order)
_make, add Settings.cfg and remove Settings.ymlIntroduction, Installation, the Fiile Module, etc.
The translated manual (French) was moved to a separate branch (fr). There is currently a problem with the rendering, which resulted in translated manuals wreaking havoc in URL generation (if rendering does not correctly interpret translated manuals, the heading labels - which are the same for the translated version - are not interpreted correctly and you might get links to translated version when you want links to English version.
Here, there are 2 prerequisites:
(Same goes for Tutorial for Editors)
Add standard README.rst with links to Rendered docs + repo, as in https://github.com/TYPO3-Documentation/TYPO3CMS-Guide-ContributionWorkflow
If people jump straight to the Tutorial for Editors, they will be missing out on this.
Should we move this (or some of it) to the "Editor's Manual"? Alternatively, check if information in "Editor's Manual" refers to relevant sections in Getting Started.
as it says on the bottom of the page:
Modifying an existing page or adding a new one is covered in the Editors Tutorial.
https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-getting-started/11.5/en-us/Extensions/LegacyManagement.html
php typo3/sysext/core/bin/typo3
extension:activate
extension:deactivate
The commands are not listed currrently, but exist (v11, v12)

Hey,
I just tried to follow the Introduction Tutorial and stumbled over the point, that with 9.5 the installed TYPO3 is in composer mode, so the Introduction package has to be installed via composer require typo3/cms-introduction So it might be good, giving a hint to that in the Tutorial.
Best regards
Lars
Some opcache settings can improve performance but some are not safe to change in every environment.
I think we should at least document what is ok to optimize from a TYPO3 point of view.
| setting | default | should use | faster | safer | comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| save_comments | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | doc comments, required value=1 for Extbase? |
| validate_timestamp | 1 | 0 or 1² | 0 | 1 | (2) 0 can improve performance but opcache must then be flushed on PHP file changes and / or files that dynamically are written blacklisted (see blacklist_filename) |
| revalidate_path | 0 | ? | 0 | 1 | 0 should be ok from POV TYPO3 AFAIK |
| .... |
using the opcode cache of modern PHP versions, you can set opcache.save_comments=1 and opcache.load_comments=1.
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/exceptions/main/en-us/Exceptions/1242292003.html
opcache.save_comments bool
If disabled, all documentation comments will be discarded from the opcode cache to reduce the size of the optimised code. Disabling this configuration directive may break applications and frameworks that rely on comment parsing for annotations, including Doctrine, Zend Framework 2 and PHPUnit.
https://www.php.net/manual/en/opcache.configuration.php#ini.opcache.save-comments
opcache.validate_timestamps bool
If enabled, OPcache will check for updated scripts every opcache.revalidate_freq seconds. When this directive is disabled, you must reset OPcache manually via opcache_reset(), opcache_invalidate() or by restarting the Web server for changes to the filesystem to take effect.
https://www.php.net/manual/en/opcache.configuration.php#ini.opcache.validate-timestamps
opcache.revalidate_path bool
If disabled, existing cached files using the same include_path will be reused. Thus, if a file with the same name is elsewhere in the include_path, it won't be found.
https://www.php.net/manual/en/opcache.configuration.php#ini.opcache.revalidate-path

It says
on the image above you can see how the command "page.10.includeCSS.10 = fileadmin..." is transformed into a tree structure
but in the image, 'includeCSS' is not below 'page.10' in the tree stucture.
So correctly it should be page.includeCSS.10, right?
