2.0: build: allow build:contributor-docs to read content from local repo & branch

[nbogie]

Increasing Access

This minor build-process change would make it possible for people to iteratively test out their local changes and additions to p5.js /contributor-docs to see whether they'll be rendered correctly by the website, without having to wait to have them merged into production.

Makes the prospect of such contributions less daunting, and makes for easier faster iterative development.

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

Other (specify if possible)

Feature request details

I suggest build:contributor-docs make use of the same pattern as used in

p5.js-website/src/scripts/parsers/reference.ts

Line 34 in da613b0

await cloneLibraryRepo(

, to allow content source to be overriden with env vars:

• P5_REPO_URL
• P5_BRANCH

@davepagurek thanks for looking at the PR. This feature request can be closed, imho, as it was only requested for 2.0.

If is desired that we put the same fix in for 1.x branch, I'm happy to do so - it's the same code.
