Summary:
**motivation**
Lots of people does not sure what to do after a PR.
common questions like:
* should I keep rebasing this PR to the latest master branch ?
* should I keep squashing all commits in a PR into single one?
This may clear it a bit and makes people less nervous 😱
**Test plan (required)**

Summary:Explain the **motivation** for making this change. What existing problem does the pull request solve?
> When vjeux [asked me how the documentation changes looked](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/6423#issuecomment-195608638), it wasn't obvious to me how to build and view them locally. So, I thought it might be a good idea to add instructions to the contributing document.
I was able to run the website locally when working on PR #6423 but am no longer able to now. I have since updated my local repo with a `git pull`. I've deleted the node_modules directories in both the root and website folders, rebuilding both. Still, I get the following error when I run `npm start` within the website directory (problem with the ES2015 compiling?)...
```bash
**/react-native/website/server/convert.js:134
.filter(key => key.startsWith('RN_'))
