Editing Qubes documentation
---------------------------
Editing Qubes documentation is easy, if you spot some errors, feel free to
correct it. Because Qubes OS is security-oriented project, every documentation
change will be reviewed before being visible on the main page.
First of all, we keep documentation in git repository hosted on
[github][github]. Thanks to github interface, you can edit documentation even
if you do not know git at all. But you need a github account for that (it is
free!).
Ok, lets start. Every documentation page have "Edit this page" button. It can
be on the right side (in desktop layout):
![edit-button-desktop](/attachment/wiki/doc-edit/03-button2.png)
Or at the bottom in mobile layout:
![edit-button-mobile](/attachment/wiki/doc-edit/02-button1.png)
When you click on it, you'll be prompted for Github username and password (if
you aren't logged in already). You can also create an account from
there.
![github-sign-in](/attachment/wiki/doc-edit/04-sign-in.png)
If it is your first contribution to the documentation, you need to "fork" a
repository (make your own copy). It's easy - just click that big green button
on the next page. This step is needed only for the first time.
![fork](/attachment/wiki/doc-edit/05-fork.png)
Then you can make your modifications. You can also preview how the changes will
be formated using "Preview changes" tab above editor.
![edit](/attachment/wiki/doc-edit/06-edit.png)
When you finish, describe your changes at the bottom and click "Propose file change".
![commit](/attachment/wiki/doc-edit/07-commit-msg.png)
After that, you'll see what exactly modification you've made. At this stage
those changes are still in your own copy of the documentation ("fork"). If
everything is ok, send those change to us back using "Create pull request"
button.
![pull-request](/attachment/wiki/doc-edit/08-review-changes.png)
You will be able to adjust pull request message and title there. In most cases
defaults are ok, so you can just confirm with "Create pull request" button
again.
![pull-request-confirm](/attachment/wiki/doc-edit/09-create-pull-request.png)
That's all! We will review your changes and eventually pull them into Qubes
documentation. You'll get email notification about that.
