= GitLab Web IDE tutorial video

[abstract]
The Docs team is responsible for both creating documentation and enhancing Docs web site experience, and helping contributors while they create documentation. Whether it is broken link, outdated screenshots of graphical user interface, technical and grammatical error, every little contribution helps Fedora Linux users. This tutorial video caters for new and existing docs writers who are interested in Web IDE for next contributions. Docs authoring tool is not reserved to experts. Web IDE can be used for light or heavy edits, and personal projects. No need to request write access to main or developer role.

== Part 1. How to fix inactive link and navigate to Fedora Docs editing tool

• Go to User Documentation on the lower right corner from the new Fedora Website - https://fedoraproject.org/start/

• Click system upgrade on the left pane

• Read the docs and check if the link works correctly

Example: Automatic upgrade using dnf system upgrade

Link: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/system-upgrade/#quick-docs:dnf-system-upgrade.adoc

• If the link does not open the page, check the URL and file name

• Press the 'Edit this Page' button on top-right corner to go to GitLab

Note: To simplify the content, the video skipped GitLab authentication process.

== Part 2. How to use Web IDE

• Click the blue 'Web IDE' button

• Create a new fork and a branch

• Create a new branch and switch to it. See status bar

To create a branch from the current branch in the Web IDE Beta:

• On the status bar, in the lower-left corner, select the current branch name.
• From the dropdown list, select Create new branch….
• Enter the branch name.
• Press Enter.

Are you sure you want to checkout "branch-sequence"? Any unsaved changes will be lost.

• In editor on the right, Scroll through which line is causing the problem
• (In this case), check the different repository the page references to
• Edit the line or start writing
• Save your work with Commit & Push
• Push to current branch (you created)
• Press the 'Create MR' button that redirects to GitLab MR creation UI
• Open merge request
• Add MR descriptions what your MR fixes

You will see the following message.

• Your MR is successfully submitted for review. Check the progress in 48 hours.
• If you receive a comment, revise your MR to improve or fix anything you overlooked

Thanks for your contribution.
