From YouTube: Updating a Job Family URL & Set Up Redirect

Description

Job Families Page: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/hiring/job-families/#helpful-tips

A

Hi we're going to walk through how to update a url on a job family, so what we will do first, this merge request is already has already been opened, so we're just going to go ahead and use this. The job family has been updated, um so we need to change the url so right here. This just needs to be changed to payroll.

A

So I will click to edit this file I'll go into this box here at the top and delete the specialist part, and then right here update url.

A

And then we will also want to add in a redirect. So if.

A

If this, the previous link was anywhere else, it will redirect to this page. So this is downloading. We'll do that next.

A

A

Okay, now you can see my commitment was added. It just said two before so right here, you'll see this was removed and it's just payroll now, so we need to update or put in a redirect so we'll open in web ide I'll open it in a new tab.

A

And the redirects are in a folder called data and then I think redirects dot, emo.

A

Yep right here, so what you'll do is scroll all the way to the bottom.

A

There's probably a command to do that faster, but I don't know it okay. So what you will do is um I'm just gonna copy this and put this in here. So.

A

Let's see, I'm gonna search for okay, just making sure what all I need to include so.

A

Awesome, uh this is what the current uh url is, and you just need this part here after about gitlab.com, so I will copy that go back here.

A

um Okay- and I will put that in here without that on the end and then with the slash on the end and then so. This is what it was before and then the target is whatever the new one is, which is just payroll.

A

So and then it equals. So if you go to either of those urls, it will redirect you here to just this one that is just payroll, so I'll hit commit.

A

And up a redirect commit to the update payroll drop family commit.

A

All right, so you can see all changes are committed.

A

And then, if you go back to the merge request last time, we had three I'll go ahead and refresh this just to show you now, there's four commits on here and you can see, I updated the url for one of them and then set up a redirect and now there will be two changes in this tab because we changed two files. So here is the actual job family file right here and then this was the redirect that we set up.

A

So that is how you update this url and then make sure if there are urls somewhere else that someone might have, it will redirect them to the updated up url of just payroll. So that is how you set up a redirect.
