Poem

🐰 A file path blooms where URLs grew,
file:/// for testing, shiny and new,
Local repos quiet, ready to play,
Docs whisper: "Run your dev this way,"
Hops of joy in every build anew.

In `@docs/new-features/v14/extension-management.md`:
- Line 48: Fix the grammar and capitalization in the configuration note that
mentions IDEMPIERE_EXTENSION_REPOSITORY: change "instead of remote repository
hosted at github.com." to "instead of a remote repository hosted at GitHub.com."
so it includes the missing article "a" and properly capitalizes "GitHub"
