## What
Adds a **Customize your template** series under the top-level **Get
started** section, at `docs/get-started/customize-your-template/`.
These guides extend the single-page Quickstart (added in #26821) with
hands-on template customization:
- **Add a programming language** — expose a language through a
parameter, install it at startup, and offer it as a preset.
- **Install your own command-line tools** — install personal tools with
Homebrew and mise, and make them persist.
- **Clone private repositories** — authenticate workspaces to GitHub
with an external-auth data source.
## Changes from the earlier draft
This branch was rebased onto the consolidated `/docs/get-started`
structure:
- Re-homed the series from `tutorials/quickstart/` to
`get-started/customize-your-template/`, nested under the new Get started
section.
- Dropped the Part 1 launch page and the old landing page; the merged
Quickstart (`get-started/index.md`, #26821) already covers them.
- Archived the dotfiles guide out of the series (tracked as a follow-up
to document the dotfiles module as a standalone tutorial) and removed
its inbound links.
- Renamed the section to **Customize your template**.
- Added a Ruby **preset** alongside the Ruby parameter so the parameter
and preset choices stay in sync.
- Fixed the parameter-change steps to route through **Workspace settings
> Parameters**.
- Gave each page a **What's next?** step so the series reads as a
sequence.
## Still open / follow-ups
- Screenshots for the UI steps (handled separately).
- The launch step will be revised after the template-builder change
ships in the next mainline release.

<summary>Decision log</summary>
- **Why re-home, not keep `tutorials/quickstart/`:** the Quickstart now
lives at `/docs/get-started`, so the series belongs under the same
top-level section for a single, coherent entry point.
- **Why drop Part 1 here:** the launch content already merged as
`get-started/index.md` in #26821; keeping a second copy would duplicate
and drift.
- **Why archive dotfiles:** it works better as a standalone module
tutorial than as a Quickstart step; removed from the series for now and
tracked for later.
- **Final code fixtures** stay scoped per guide (base template plus that
page's edit), so only the language guide's fixture gains the Ruby option
and preset.

Add a top-level "Get started" docs section to the nav and move the Quickstart to /docs/get-started, with inbound link updates and the install page TIP pointing to the Quickstart.
