Koha manual - git setup for local editing
It's probably just me, but I find setting up or explaining the git setup and editing workflow for the manual to others challenging - particularly those new to git as well: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Editing_the_Koha_Manual#Editing_the_man... Also, it may be because I'm just used to working with my own repositories at a basic git level, and not having to worry about forking. Initial setup: - Fork the GitLab repository - Clone your fork - Add a second remote to track the main Koha manual repository (community) - Add a branch to track the remote repository (community_master) Workflow for editing: - Make sure everything is up-to-date: checkout community_master branch, pull, merge with local master - Create a new branch for your changes - Edit and commit - Push branch to GitLab - Create a merge request using GitLab Can anyone suggest any alternative ways to set this up or improve it? Or is that as "easy" as we can make it? (and just say follow the really good instructions and you'll get used to it in time..) Thanks!

Is the first workflow « Editing the manual - using the GitLab web interface» more appropriate in this case? Or do we have a third type of users for which the «GitLab web interface» workflow doesn't fit and the «using a local repository» neither. Cheers, -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo
