### **Logging in the Gitlab interface**
Access to GitLab is provided through the Fablabs.io platform. An account will have been generated for you
with your registered student email. The GitLab username/password fields will not work unless you specifically had access this way previously.
Accounts are created with the registered student emails.
You will receive a notification from Gitlab with instructions to set your password.
Click the "fablabs" button to login with Fablabs.io. If you forgot your password, run through the "forgot my password" flow on the Fablabs.io website and not the one on GitLab.

### **Using the Gitlab editor**
Navigate to any page clicking the folders, always starting from the docs folder.
Navigate to any page on your project, and at the top you will see either an "Edit" or "Web IDE" buttons.
While the "Edit" button will only work on the file you are viewing, the "Web IDE" button will open up a special
view where you can edit multiple files and upload files and then publish the changes by **commiting**
Clicking on a page file for example index.md, will allow you to see a preview of its contents.

Select the Edit button and go in edit mode for changing the content.
After making changes, **remember** to click the *commit* button to start the process of publishing.
Finally, save your page using the Commit button at the bottom of the page. You can/must add a comment to identify your change in the future.

Then write short clear message of what changed, for example "Change text on home page" or "Changed screenshot of 3d design".
Make sure to commit to the **master** branch, otherwise your changes will not be visible right away.

### Uploading and linking a file
The ability to create a file is great when the content is text. However, this doesn’t work well for binary data such as images, PDFs or other file types. In this case you need to upload a file.
