Nitpick: a newline character terminates a line, so a line is incomplete without one. ;-)

| The update process depends on your installation type. | |||
| If you installes FreshRSS using git, then please refer to our [cli documentation](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/tree/dev/cli). | |||

Installed, Git.
The then is less nice stylistically.

Thanks for the first feedback. I did not check the spelling whatsoever, just wanted to get an idea on how you want to structure the documentation. In my impression, the cli page is simply not obvious but thats mainly what I wanted to check with you. I'll fix the spellings once you let me know if the suggested way is okay with you. |

Shouldn't this point to master?

So, true - it was a bit to late yesterday ;-)

You mean whether update should go before or after FAQ? The only objection I have to the update document itself is that Git is essentially also shell, so I'm not too sure about the particular name. |

Hey Frenzie, I wanted to improve the docu for all users and gather most of the information in one place - the documentation. Why do I want to do that:
My questions: Normally the project devs don't need the docu (or only to link to it from issues) and thats why they don't see the problems for end-users. Lets make it that way: I will re-arrange the docu in another PR and you have a look if that fits your ideas as well. |

Hello @kevinpapst and thanks for helping 👍 I think we should keep the readme files (maybe slightly reduce some sections), and add some more links from the readme files to the main documentation. The main documentation should indeed be very much improved, and help is welcome :-) To be fair, there are 4 links from the main readme to the CLI readme ;-) I have already added some more links from the readme to the documentation in the /dev version https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/blob/dev/README.md but more would be needed when the corresponding sections are actually developed in the main documentation. There is also a bit more substance in the issues themselves, often with the "Documentation" tag, which would need to be copied into the main documentation. https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/issues?q=label%3ADocumentation |

@kevinpapst Other than needing to look up some stuff in the French docs in the past, just going to the docs seemed mostly reasonably self-evident to me. :-) |
|
Right on, thats what I wanted to read! Ok. Then I will create a new PR based on the dev branch and look through the open issues as well. |

Hi @Alkarex
here is a first draft to talk about some documentation updates.
What do you think, shall we move all information into one place?
Only then I looked through the open issues and found your comment #861 (comment)
It was not obvious to me to look into the cli documentation - I only searched through the docu for infos on how to update.
