Where to find help with sbt?

Question
1

For almost one week I try to get over a problem in sbt and I am not sure what to do. I have the feeling, that sbt is a nice tool but with not very intuitive documentation.

What is the best way to get help for sbt related problems? I tried on StackOverflow but sbt is there not very well represented.

Any ideas for me?

Can you link to the question(s) you asked on Stack Overflow that didn’t get attention?

This was my question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60742623/where-to-put-enableplugins-in-sbt.

It got attention when I started a bounty and eventaully I could solve my problem. Now I am looking for a way to give feedback to the authors of the documentation I followed, maybe they want to modify it.

You could open an issue at Issues · sbt/sbt-native-packager · GitHub , or send a pull request that modifies the files under sbt-native-packager/src/sphinx at master · sbt/sbt-native-packager · GitHub

I heartily agree. The documentation is poorly organized with no index or search feature. I find it very frustrating.

I heard that there were 3 people who fully understood sbt. One died, one went mad, the other forgot.
