- bf66b89f - fixed steps about how to create a directory
I linked this from https://about.gitlab.com/2015/02/19/8-tips-to-help-you-work-better-with-git/#comment-2186915794
I really think this should be under http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/gitlab-basics/README.html and not in the handbook.
@karengc can you move it?
@sytses Hi. I originally created it in Gitlab Basics, but @JobV asked me to move it here. Here's our conversation: https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/gitlabhq/merge_requests/1910
Should I move it back?
What do you think? Deduplicate it and add it to GitLab Basics and link from the handbook?
OK! @karengc I think my main worry is / was that having a separate document just for creating a directory, next to documents doing the exact same thing but for other file types (images / text), doesn't make sense. I think this kind of information (create something and commit) should be a single document. You can then add multiple headers in that document if you want to make certain things more clear. Sorry for the ping-pong on this, but I hope you get my reasoning.
Thanks @JobV . I understand your reasoning, but I think that we are looking at it in different ways. You mention that these are all the same steps in different documents, and I see it like they are different steps for different purposes. Somebody who just learned how to use GitLab will probably find having separate documents really useful because for them every action will be different and it takes time to really understand what you are doing.
What do you think if we just edit the "Add an image" document and we turn it into "Add an image and a directory" and we include them together, but with different headers? cc/ @sytses
@karengc I don't see the point of making a directory without anything in it. Better to just provide that example in the image / file documentation.
