Forking a project is obscure, documentation is wrong
Background: I am new to GitLab, but an experienced GitHub and BitBucket user.
It took me several minutes to figure out how to fork a project on Gitlab.com. I first tried to figure it out on my own, by looking at the gitlab pages of the project I wanted to fork. Eventually, I gave up and looked at the documentation. I couldn't find a way to search the documentation, though, and hence resorted to Google. That lead me to http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/workflow/forking_workflow.html which promises to explain how to do this -- but the picture there is outdated.
Finally, I figured it out: I need to go to the start page of the project, then click on a button which has no text except a 0, and a little icon which supposedly represents a branch point... See screenshot:
To be frank, this seems to be a horrible UI design for such an important feature :/.
At least it got slightly better after I made the fork. Now the button looks like this:
Perhaps the text "fork" could always be displayed? (Of course the documentation also needs an update, and a way to search the documentation would also be nice... ;-).
