Adding link to the documentation in the plugin catalog page

[usmangt]

After search OR installing the plugin inside the web UI, it does not show a link to the documentation.

It will be good to have a link to the official documentation (reference e.g. the infinity plugin):

This will help the users to understand and use it correctly and also help us to make the docs better for any suggestions or future improvements.

Hi @usmangt! I checked and it seems that infinity specifies it in its plugin json: https://github.com/grafana/grafana-infinity-datasource/blob/main/src/plugin.json. Feel free to add it to github plugin json: https://github.com/grafana/github-datasource/blob/main/src/plugin.json 🙂

Also it looks like it is using https://github.com/grafana/github-datasource/blob/main/README.md for overview. I am wondering, if we should change its content to what you created in https://github.com/grafana/github-datasource/blob/main/docs/sources/_index.md

Thanks for the hint @ivanahuckova . I updated the plugin.json and here is the PR:

Good point. Yes, that will be helpful for users.

How about if we simply put a new link in the current readme.md file "Link to the Documentation" and that way we do not need to change that much?

Yes, I think that is a good idea! Having a single source of truth so we don't have to update data source docs when something changes at 2 places.
