Jacob Herrington 7d0aeeefe5 Improve the clarity of the docs and fix Prettier config (#4899)
* Improve format and clarity of the docs [ci skip]

While this change produces a lot of git noise by enacting what seems
like an arbitrary linewrap on most of the files in the documentation it
will result in better version control and tracking of the changes in the
documentation.

For example, as it currently stands, if one was to make a
PR to move a comma in a sentence because each paragraph in most of the
files is on a single line, that small change would look in the git
history like the author had modified the entire paragraph. In reality,
this author just moved a comma.

This change also includes a significant number of modifications to the
more article-esque docs. Many of these docs were written in a sort of
stream-of-conciousness and aren't as easy to read as they could be.
Hopefully this is the first of several readability changes. If we could
get these docs to a more accessible reading level, we would probably see
an increase in contributions. :)

* Delegate markdown wrapping to Prettier

* Add linewrapping explanation in the docs [ci skip]

Committing

Committing and pre-commit hooks

Style guide

This project follows thoughtbot's Ruby Style Guide, using Rubocop along with Rubocop-Rspec as the code analyzer. If you have Rubocop installed with your text editor of choice, you should be up and running.

For Javascript, we follow Airbnb's JS Style Guide, using ESLint and prettier. If you have ESLint installed with your text editor of choice, you should be up and running.

Husky hooks

When commits are made, a git precommit hook runs via husky and lint-staged. ESLint, prettier, and Rubocop will run on your code before it's committed. If there are linting errors that can't be automatically fixed, the commit will not happen. You will need to fix the issue manually then attempt to commit again.

Note: if you've already installed the husky package at least once (used for precommit npm script), you will need to run yarn --force or npm install --no-cache. For some reason, the post-install script of husky does not run when the package is pulled from yarn or npm's cache. This is not husky specific, but rather a cached package issue.
