These
are
going
to
be
reoccurring
about
every
two
weeks
and
we're
going
to
kick
each
of
these
off
with
a
moment
of
insight
sharing
something
you
were
surprised
to
learn
this
week,
which
might
have
benefits
for
others
I'll
just
keep
going
because
I
got
the
first
is
this
week.
Past
week
I
learned
that
we
can
and
will
be
contributing
back
to
netlify
cms,
while
making
our
implementation
better
for
gitlab.
A
Two
examples
is
we
can
configure
custom
widgets
as
a
separate
package
and
contribute
those
back
to
netlify
cms
and
then
other
people
who
use
it
can
come
and
use
those
same
components.
A
And
the
second
thing
is
we're:
gonna
make
a
pull
request
to
make
the
rebase
timeout
configurable
per
project
and
contribute
that
back
really
exciting.
So
now
we're
gonna
dive
right
into
our
demos
and
tina's.
B
Got
the
first
one,
I'm
gonna
share
my
screen:
ready
sharing
thumbs
up
okay.
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
today
is
update
a
topic
page
from
the
admin
from
about.github.com.
B
B
Exciting
we're
going
to
find
the
devops
platform
page,
which
is
right
over
here.
Let's
open
that
up,
I'm
not
gonna
make
all
these
changes
now
we're
just
gonna
change.
A
couple
things
here
is
the
cms
with
all
of
the
existing
content
that
builds
the
page,
and
here
we
have.
B
Let's
get
rid
of
that
yeah,
that's
very
distracting
good
call.
So
the
first
change
we're
just
gonna
change
the
title.
B
Look
at
that
copy
paste
there
we
go
and
that's
all
I'm
going
to
do
for
now,
and
I'm
just
going
to
save
that.
C
B
And
what
we
are
going
to
be
changing
is
this
title
here
and
this
affecting
I
mean
and
this
intro
copy
here.
So
let's
see,
if
that's
done,.
D
While
we
wait
for
that,
it
will
take
a
while,
depending
on
the
changes
and
the
state
of
the
repository,
so
you
know
we'll
work
on
that
and
think
about
it
tina
when
you
hit
the
admin
url
it
just
auto
logged
you
in.
I
think,
because.
D
Logged
in,
but
for
people
watching
it's
just
your
git
lab
user
account,
so
whatever
you
use
to
use
gitlab.com
that
will
authorize
you.
A
Yeah
I'm
going
to
actually
do
the
scream
share.
B
A
It's
really
exciting
stuff:
okay,.
A
So
now
I'm
gonna
show
the
editorial
workflow
so
we'll
come
over
here
to
the
admin
I
get
logged
in
and
it's
going
to
be
thinking
for
a
little
bit,
but
we
can
go
over
here
to
this
workflow
tab
and
it's
going
to
show
us
this
topics
page
that
I
did
it's
not
showing
tina's,
but
we
have
a
backup,
math
method,
also
and
I've
linked
to
these
in
the
agenda
and
we'll
link
to
these
in
our
handbook
page.
A
Each
of
these
drafts
open
a
merge
request,
oh
shoot
in
nutify
cms,
and
you
can
go
and
look
at
it
in
the
repo.
So
here
you
can
see
this
one
that
I've
opened
up
and
it
generally
opened
up.
This
merge
request
assigned
it
this
label,
not
if
I
see
him
as
pending,
publish
and
then
you
can
see
exactly
what
the
changes
were
pipelines
running
oh
this
is,
I
see
this
is
even
cooler.
Now
we
can
see
the
commit
history
of
this
merge
request.
D
A
Yes,
because
I
already
had
this
draft
open
and
was
already
making
edits
to
it
and
I'll
show
how
these
labels
work.
I
can
drag
it
over
here
to
the
draft
column.
Come
back
here
refresh
my
page
boom.
That
label
has
been
updated
and
the
same
thing
for
when
it's
in
review
super
cool
and
we're
going
to
add
these
links
to
those
direct
pages.
They'll
show
all
merge,
requests
open
with
those
labels,
it'll
be
a
handy
resource
to
keep
track
of
all
the
edits
that
are
in
flight.
D
Cool,
I
think
I'm
up
next
here.
Let
me
share
my
screen
and
I'm
going
to
do.
Where
are
we
so
we're
talking
about?
We've
got
a
custom,
youtube
widget,
and
so
this
is
part
of
where
we're
talking
about
contributing
back
to
netlify
cms.
So
we
can
take.
We
can
create
our
own
custom.
D
It
doesn't
do
the
preview
here,
but
I'll
show
you
what
a
new
one
would
look
like.
So
this
is
just
a
youtube
embed
right,
but
the
cool
thing
is:
if
you
want
to
create
one
yourself,
so
you
go
to
the
plus
icon
in
the
top
bar
here
in
the
rich
text.
Formatter,
you
do
youtube
and
then
you
grab
the
id
which,
from
here
I'm
going
to
grab
this
one
would
be
this
id
and
it'll
be
in,
like
the
youtube
url
or
like
any
of
the
sharing
links.
D
D
Of
course
it's
scrolling
with
me,
but
if
I
were
to
take
out
the
what
I
just
added,
you
see
the
one
there
it
is.
Those
are
custom
blocks,
so
we
can
define
those
for
any
kind
of
custom
content
that
we
need.
A
Awesome
well,
I
think
that
wraps
up
this
first
learning
resource.
