Hello, lauren barker here, um I'm just going to walk through quickly how you use the get lab ui to add additional commits to a existing merge request. One of my favorite features.

A

So I have a open, mr here, to add a a b test proposal template and if I walk over to this changes tab, we can see this. Mr only changes, one file um actually added it. It's the ap test proposal and uh put some placeholder stuff in there. But let's say you want to come in and edit. It click on this little three, three dot thing and you have.

A

You can either view the file you can edit in the single file editor or you can open in the web ide and I'm gonna open it in the web ide.

A

So if you notice up in this url up here, we can see it's opened that file from my branch that I've created we can see there was no existing version. That's why this side's blank and the green is all the new stuff over here we let's say uh gosh. I don't really like that name. Let's just do a b test.

A

We will remove the proposal part from um the name of that file boom renamed and then over here a.d test proposal like enter your hypothesis statement, um and you know let's say I come down here- I'm going to say enter some more stuff.

A

Boom put a closing bracket on that and then we're going to come over here create the commit. Now this is going to be the commit message. That's going to be logged in the git log. So you want this to say what changed. Why just and it's got to be short and brief, and so um I'm going to say this commit is demonstrating how to make edits um with the ui we'll say uh using web ide not die id and that works and we're going to go ahead and commit it changes our committed.

A

We get the little rocket and uh let's see I can come down here and click on this little number, and it will take me right back to this merge and we can see in the commit. So there's the changes that third or the second tab.

A

We can see the commits so the first one added the the a b proposal template and then here this commit is demonstrating how these edits are being made. um Super handy feature that allows anyone to add additional edits and commits to an openmr so hope you try that out soon.
