This quickstart was basically duplicated in the CLI docs. It makes no sense to maintain repeated content.

Main changes:

  • Switches from a step-by-step tutorial to an overview. The tutorial now only lives in the CLI docs and it's linked from here.
  • Keeps and extends the Explore the Actor section.

That's a starter for now so we don't maintain duplicated content. I'd like to add more sections soon (for example on testing or differences between local and platform runs).

Part of #1240.
Closes #1202.

I suggest to get rid of the Prompt for now (or hide it, as it was lastly updated last year, and it might not be accurate).

Otherwise, it looks good. One point, once we release the new Actor creation flow with Git-flow, we will need to update these docs (also Apify CLI).

we will need to update these docs

@patrikbraborec Don't worry about it :) Maintaining docs is a never-ending cycle of rewrites.
