See how to create a blog post in GitLab using a merge request
A
Okay,
we're
recording
so,
as
I
said,
this
training
is,
is
really
for
the
non-technical
gitlab
user.
This
is
someone
who
doesn't
have
the
background
in
coding,
doesn't
have
the
background
and
get
but
still
needs
to
be
able
to
navigate,
get
lab,
and
so
I
put
this
together
to
sort
of
help.
The
team
and
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
sort
of
your
first
blog
post.
So
that's
what
this
training
is
going
to
be
about.
A
B
A
A
Screen,
yes,
I
will
do
it
at
the
end.
So
so,
basically,
what
this
is
is
every
blog
post
needs
to
have
certain
features.
So
here
is
the
front
matter
I'm
highlighting
that
here
and
that's
what
we
need
just
to
make
sure
that
it's
published
in
the
right
category,
that
the
formatting
is
correct.
So
title
your
name,
your
get
lab
handle.
So
whatever
your
name
isn't
get
lab
the
image
title
and
imaging
is
interesting.
A
A
More
natural
and
it's
from
independent
sources,
so
I
tend
to
like
that,
a
little
bit
more,
but
really
any
sort
of
stock
photo.
That's
free,
free
to
use,
you
can
use
it
and
then
tags.
You
can
find
this
in
the
blog
handbook.
I
will
tell
you
that
this
is
a
page
that
I
frequent.
Let's
see
it,
does
this
pop
up
for
you,
yep
blog,
frontmatter,
okay,
so
formatting
guidelines.
This
link
right
here
that
I'll
share
with
you
is
I.
A
Go
to
it
every
time,
I
work
on
a
blog
post
every
time,
I
create
a
merge
request.
This
is
something
I
have
readily
available
anytime
I'm
working
on
the
blog,
and
so
this
gives
you
a
lot
of
background
on
frontmatter
cover
image
requirements
where
to
store
the
cover
image
featured
categories,
because
every
blog
post
has
to
be
in
a
certain
category
and
so
definitely
bookmark
this
okay.
So
so
keeping
that
in
mind
I
have
a
blog
post
that
I'm
going
to
test
out
with
you
and
show
you
how
I
go
about
publishing
a
blog
post.
A
So
this
is
one
that
I
did
last
week
and
it
was
I
think
I
renamed.
It
for
benefits
of
C
ICD,
so
here
you
see,
I
have
the
frontmatter
out
post
type
content,
marketing
I,
don't
put
my
personal
Twitter,
so
I
just
have
get
labs.
So
this
is
the
standard,
get
lab
categories
in
sites,
here's
the
image
that
I
used
and
then
description,
and
all
of
this
is
going
to
show
up
at
the
top
of
a
blog.
So
one
thing
that
I
told
Val
and
Sara
about
is
this
add-on
called
Docs
to
markdown?
A
B
A
A
There's
I
have
an
add-on
through
Google
Docs,
and
you
can
do
this
on
your
Google
Docs
as
well.
Just
go
to
a
document
and
then
get
add-ons
and
then
you
can
search
markdown
ducks
to
markdown.
This
is
the
one
that
I
use,
and
this
was
one
that
was
recommended
to
me
from
from
a
product
marketer
so
Docs
to
markdown.
Add
that
onto
your
Google
Drive.
So
all
you
have
to
do
Docs
to
markdown
and
then
just
hit
convert
on
your
final
blogpost.
A
A
A
They're,
just
shaking
so
what
the
docs
markdown
add-on
does
is
that
it
does
add
spaces
and
with
the
front
matter
you
don't
want
spaces.
Okay,
so
I
just
copy
it
directly
from
that
document.
Okay,
so
here
is
where
a
get
web
blog
issue
would
be,
and
it
would
be
in
the
this
get
lab
comm
projects,
and
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
the
location
of
this
right
now.
That's
something
that
you'll
have
things
assigned
to
you,
and
this
will
ought
to
be
automatic.
A
A
It'll
do
something
there.
It
goes
okay,
so
there
are
a
lot
of
different
ways
to
do.
A
merge
request,
there's
the
terminal,
which
is
something
that
is
sourced
on
your
computer
I,
don't
ever
use
that
and
I
would
say
that
most
marketers,
don't
so
what
you
need
to
do
is
you
need
to
create
a
file,
and
this
is
where
the
text
of
your
blog
is
going
to
be.
The
problem
is
that
you
see
this
create
file
mm-hmm.
You
don't
want
to
use
that.
A
A
Creating
a
post
from
the
UI,
so
this
is
from
the
site,
you
have
to
add
a
new
file
to
source
slash
posts.
So
if
you
create
a
new
file,
it
doesn't
automatically
open
it
here.
So
here
is
the
way
that
I
get
around
that
I
just
click
on
this,
so
this
is
the
branch
name
and
the
branch
is
where
you're
going
to
put
all
of
your
files.
So
just
click
on
that
and
then
you'll
see.
This
is
almost
like
a
file
sort.
So
this
is
where
you
would
create
a
new
file
from
you.
A
A
A
A
Yeah
it's
one
of
those
sort
of
proprietary.
Thank
you
for
using
our
add-on,
and
you
know,
let's
put
some
code
into
what
you
created
so
I.
Don't
typically
do
that?
Okay,
you
can
do
soft
rap,
so
you
can
see
everything-
and
here
is
the
blog
post
like
it's
it's
in
here
now.
So
all
that
we
have
to
do
from
this
point
is
create
a
good
file
name.
So
here
formatting
guidelines,
I.
A
Think
there's
a
way
how
to
name
a
post
is
on
this
page
as
well:
okay,
so
creating
a
post
from
the
UI,
so
add
a
new
file
to
source
posts.
We
just
did
that
mm-hmm
and
then
using
the
file
name
format
year
month
date
and
the
name
of
your
post
and
then
all
blogposts
have
to
have
this
ending
to
them.
They
have
to
have
this
filename,
so
let's
go
ahead
and
I
always
just
copy
this
and
put
it
in
because
I
don't
want
to
mess
up
the
file
name.
A
B
A
No
and
the
reason
for
that
is
that
all
posts
go
through
a
review,
so
the
reviewer
will
fix
that.
Okay,
so
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
that
so
yeah
if
the
date
has
to
change
or
something
like
that,
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
that
at
all.
There's
always
that
last
check
to
make
sure
that
everything
is
good.
Okay,.
A
Okay,
so
here
we
have
the
title
and
then
we
have
our
blog
formatting.
So
a
couple
of
things
that
we
do,
we
do
relative
links,
so
you
can
see
here
we
have
this
link
to
this
blog
post
so
because
we're
posting
to
about
get
lab
comm.
We
don't
need
to
have
this
first
part.
So
when
we
do
relative
links,
we
take
out
everything
before
this
first
slash
because
it'll
automatically
pull
that
from
the
site.
So
what
you
can
do
is
you
can
do
the
search
and
just
look
for
about
gitlab.
A
A
A
B
A
A
Show
you
what
I
mean
so
the
the
whole
thing
about
gitlab
is
that
it's
everyone
can
contribute,
and
that
is
absolutely
true
and
I'll
show
you.
So
here
is
a
blog
post
that
just
came
out
and
what
I
can
do
is
sum
doesn't
have
a
button,
though?
Let
me
see,
let
me
look
someone
that
has
a
button,
so
I
can
show
you
how
I
did
this
okay.
A
A
A
Mm-Hmm
yeah,
so
this
little
part
down
here
and
a
lot
of
blog
posts
have
things
like
this
I
would
encourage
you
to
talk
to
Rebecca.
She
is
kind
of
the
gatekeeper
for
these
things
and
I
know
that
she
knows
a
lot
more
about
how
to
format
blog
posts
and
I
just
wanted
to
teach
you
the
basics.
That
was
how
I
learned
what
that
button
is.
Okay,.
B
A
Yeah
and
with
these
sorts
of
things,
it's
just
a
formatting
for
a
piece
of
code
and
there
are
a
lot
more
of
those.
So
if
you're
doing
images,
that's
sort
of
next
level,
I
didn't
actually
put
a
lot
of
inline
images
in
a
post
until
maybe
it
was
my
fourth
or
fifth
post.
Okay,
so
that's
something
you
can
ramp
up
to
once
you
get
more
familiar
with
just
the
idea
of
a
merge
request
and-
and
you
get
a
few
under
your
belt,
then
you
can
start
expanding
on
okay.
A
A
A
A
So
with
this
blog
post,
which
is
just
an
exact
copy
of
that
other
one
with
the
commit
message,
this
is
going
to
be
sort
of
help.
Somebody
knows
what
you
did
yep,
so
you
can
say
added
blog
post
text
and
you
want
to
make
sure
this
is
you
know
the
target
branch,
but
that's
all
good.
The
same
is
up
top
mm-hmm.
B
A
So
here
is
what
this
looks
like
and
then
it's
a
little
bit
tricky
to
get
back
to
that
merge,
request
and
back
to
that
issue.
So
I'm
sure
there's
a
better
way
to
do
this,
but
this
is
what
I
do.
I
click
on
this
part
because
it'll
tell
you
it'll
show
you
the
commit
message:
I'll
just
click
on
that,
and
then
it
takes
you
to
this
page.
Where,
then,
you
can
go
to
look
at
the
pipeline
or
you
can
go
to
the
merge
request.
A
I
always
just
go
back
to
the
merge
request
that
I
was
working
on
okay,
and
this
is
how
you
get
back
and
then
this
is
a
great
way
to
kind
of
see
what
all
you've
done.
So
here
is
the
blog
that
I
uploaded.
You
can
see
it's
in
Sora's
posts,
and
this
is
what
it
looks
like
and
then
pipelines
pipelines
are
it's
an
automated
mechanism
of.
A
Releasing
something
so
this
is
where
you
can
kind
of
track.
What's
going
on
so
right
now
out
of
the
pipeline
since
the
running
yeah,
so
it's
running
so
it's
preparing,
so
it's
making
sure
hey.
Do
you
have
things
formatted
correctly?
Is
this
going
to
break
any
piece
of
the
master
once
we
actually
merge
it
and
then
building
its
building
it
and
it's
checking
our
links?
It's
checking
the
specs.
A
B
A
But
you
can
kind
of
see
what
stage
so
if
it
was
to
break
at
check
links,
for
example,
that
there
would
be
a
big
red
chaos
through
here.
What
you
can
do
is
you
can
take
that
to
a
slack
channel
or
you
can
take
that
to
a
colleague
and
say
my
build
failed.
Here's
where
it
filled
in
this
pipeline.
Can
you
help
me
and
someone
will
help
you
a
hundred
percent
of
the
time?
A
B
A
What
I
can
do
is
if
I
see
something
from
here,
I'll
give
you
a
cheat
sheet.
I'll.
Give
you
a
quick
thing
to
just
keep
in
mind
if
a
bill,
if
a
pipeline
fails
at
lint
I
think
that
is
not
something
you
did
lint
is
something
that
is
a
it's
a
widespread
thing
and
there's
something
wrong
in
the
system:
I'm
not
wrong,
but
there's
something
there's
an
issue
elsewhere,
that's
not
very
good
to
go
out
of
your
control
yeah!
Exactly
so,
usually
you
can
just
wait
a
little
bit
and
try
the
pipeline
again
but
yeah.
A
A
Something
that
explains
why
that
happened,
and
it's
also
really
fun
to
kind
of
go
through
these
Docs
and
learn
about
certain
things.
Sometimes
it
will
be
very
clear,
but
it's
like.
Oh,
this
is
related
to
an
issue
with
image
size
and
then
you
can
go
but
I
honestly
I
wouldn't
spend
more
than
like
a
few
minutes
doing
research
on
it.
You
don't
want
to
waste
too
much
time.
A
I
would
say
bare
minimum
google
it
see
if
we
have
a
doc
on
that
certain
pipeline
and
then,
if
you
really
just
can't
figure
it
out,
go
to
get
help
or
questions
actually
go
to
questions.
Questions
is
the
best
slack
channel
if
you're
having
any
sort
of
issues,
and
then
you
know,
even
if
that
feels
like
it's
too
big,
like
I'm,
really
new
and
I,
don't
want
to
embarrass
myself
just
put
it
in
content.
Just.
A
B
A
Questions,
oh
yeah,
and,
and
it's
actually
it's
wonderful
I-
think
it's
really
great
yeah
yeah,
and
if
you
you
know
you
can
go
ahead
and
once
an
emerge,
your
quest
is
running.
You
can
totally
just
work
on
other
things.
You
don't
have
to
watch
it
like
a
hawk
right
doing
things
in
the
background.
If
you
want
to
check
on
the
progress
you
can
always
go
to
this
issue
here
and
it'll
show
all
of
your
related
merge
requests,
yeah,
and
you
can
just
see
oh
I
plan
running
right.
A
A
A
A
A
Then
what'll
happen
inevitably,
and
this
still
happens
with
me-
she
might
have
some
things
that
she's
noticed
or
have
some
critiques
or
I
have
some
things
that
I
need
to
go
back
and
work
on
and
then
she'll
tag
me
in
the
merge
request
and
reassign
it
to
me,
and
then
you
can
make
changes
pretty
much
the
same,
pretty
much
the
same
way.
Okay,.
B
A
B
B
A
Google
Doc
is
purely
for
you,
for
you
and
I,
wouldn't
say
that
it's
an
official
way
of
working
with
the
merge
request.
You
you
use
it
as
the
bones
and
then
everything
from
here
the
reviewer
is
just
going
to
take
a
look
at
the
merge
request.
Okay,
yeah,
because
merge
requests
have
a
lot
of
functionality,
that's
pretty
cool,
they
can
yeah.
A
So
they
can
add
comments.
They
can
highlight
certain
things
and
make
recommendations
on
certain
sections.
So
that'll
be
a
lot
clearer
once
you
actually
have
a
few
merge
requests
come
through
there's
a
lot
of
really
fun
review
capabilities,
so
they
can
highlight
something
and
make
suggested
changes.
And
then
you
can
say
yes
and
then
it'll
create
a
emerge
request
for
you
automatically.
A
B
B
A
A
You
could
even
do
and
I
do,
invite
you
to
do
this.
You
can
do
a
zoom
call
with
me.
I
won't
do
anything
I'll
just
watch,
you
do
it
and
you
can
just
share
your
screen
and
I'm
more
than
happy
to
be
a
spy
and
look
at
how
you're
doing
things
and
if
you're
absolutely
stuck
I
can
point
you
in
the
right
direction.
If
you
fear,
but
you
know
some
people,
it's
different
I,
don't
like
someone
looking
over
my
shoulder
I'd
rather
just
sail.
A
A
Do
revisit
that
a
lot
and
then
this
new
blog
template,
yeah
I,
think
that'll
be
really
helpful.
It's
still
in
the
editing
phase,
but
I
think
it's
a
really
good
first
step
so
that
you
can
get
started
with
formatting,
your
very
first
blog
right.
So
were
there
any
other
questions
about
creating
emerge
or
creating
Leblanc
I.
