Find the Support KB article file on Github

In the Support Knowledge Base (KB), articles are organized in sections, which nest under categories.

For example, the How to subscribe to Adobe Magento status updates article belongs to the General section in the How To category.

You can see the section and category name in the breadcrumbs path on the article page, see the image below:

Article files are organized the same way in the magento/knowledge-base repo.
All the content is stored in the src folder, with folders for categories and nested folders for sections; file names either coincide with article titles or are similar.

You might also use search inside the repo using a piece of text from the Support KB article as a search string. When the search returns files, containing this string, make sure to choose the file that belongs to the right section and category.
