Editing Entries
All you need is a GitHub account (sign up).
Good reference materials are the Writing Guide and the example entry of the Avocado Lab webpage which is rendered from this file.
- Go to page you want to edit: Above the title of the entry click the icon, which will take you to GitHub.
- Select edit button: The pencil icon . GitHub will let you know you don’t have ‘write’ access to the project — that’s expected, everyone contributes this way. A new file will be saved under your copy of the project (i.e. a ‘fork’) and can later be merged with a ‘pull request’.

-
Edit content: Make changes to the front matter (data keys in between
---) and update the entry in markdown text. ThePreviewmarkdown will only render the text and the front matter will be inside a two row table - Select Propose file change at the bottom of the page, when you are finished editing,
- Select Create Pull Request if you are able to merge. You can add additional comments to your pull request
- Wait for Review A maintainer will review your Pull Request (PR), request additional edits from you, or approve and merge it.
