# In-browser Editing in Gerrit
|
|
|
|
### What's going on?
|
|
|
|
Until Q1 of 2018, editing a file in the browser was not supported by Gerrit's
|
|
new UI. This feature is now done and ready for use.
|
|
|
|
Read on for a walkthrough of the feature!
|
|
|
|
### Creating an edit
|
|
|
|
Click on the "Edit" button to begin.
|
|
|
|
One may also go to the project mmanagement page (Browse => Repository =>
|
|
Commands => Create Change) to create a new change.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Performing an action
|
|
|
|
The buttons in the file list header open dialogs to perform actions on any file
|
|
in the repo.
|
|
|
|
* Open - opens an existing or new file from the repo in an editor.
|
|
* Delete - deletes an existing file from the repo.
|
|
* Rename - renames an existing file in the repo.
|
|
|
|
To leave edit mode and restore the normal buttons to the file list, click "Stop
|
|
editing".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Performing an action on a file
|
|
|
|
The "Actions" dropdown appears on each file, and is used to perform actions on
|
|
that specific file.
|
|
|
|
* Open - opens this file in the editor.
|
|
* Delete - deletes this file from the repo.
|
|
* Rename - renames this file in the repo.
|
|
* Restore - restores this file to the state it existed in at the patch the
|
|
edit was created on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Modifying the file
|
|
|
|
This is the editor view.
|
|
|
|
Clicking on the file path allows you to rename the file, You can edit code in
|
|
the textarea, and "Close" will discard any unsaved changes and navigate back to
|
|
the previous view.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Saving the edit
|
|
|
|
You can save changes to the code with `cmd+s`, `ctrl+s`, or by clicking the
|
|
"Save" button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Publishing the edit
|
|
|
|
You may publish or delete the edit by clicking the buttons in the header.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What if I have questions not answered here?
|
|
|
|
Gerrit's [official docs](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-inline-edit.html)
|
|
are in the process of being updated and largely refer to the old UI, but the
|
|
user experience is largely the same.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, please email
|
|
[the repo-discuss mailing list](mailto:repo-discuss@google.com) or file a bug
|
|
on Gerrit's official bug tracker,

|
