State of the art, project management and documentation¶
1. Documentation¶
Documentation is very important for keeping a record of what you've done so you don't forget; it saves time and reduces errors, allowing for continuous improvement.
5 things you should know before you start
-
On GitLab, you’ll upload images, documents, etc.
-
In Web IDE—you’ll write the code
-
On your page, you’ll see the saved changes.
-
The language used to write the code is Markdown or HTML
-
It’s not as hard as it looks
4. Process and workflow¶
Here is the Fabricademy tutorial: Tutorial
To start, I began by creating a design in Canva of what I wanted to see: the projects, the information I wanted it to include, and the order in which they would appear. This helped me a lot in figuring out what code or tools I needed to make it look exactly the way I wanted.
How to Start Adding Content to My Fabricademy Page?
Once I logged in to my Fab.ios page, I accessed the GitLab platform.
Next, to start editing the page, press the key under “Code” > “Web IDE” > “docs” > “index” * Here video to access to IDE
Once you're there, you can edit every part of your page!¶
New directory¶
To start adding images to my page, I first created a special folder on my GitLab account that I named home. I’ll upload all the photos that will be included in that section there.
From my GitLab page, I navigated to my username > “docs” > “images” > “+” > new directory > named it.
Upload image¶
Adding images to your page will be a regular task, so you should upload images between 80 and 100 KB.
Some images will need to be compressed. To ensure they don't lose quality, you can upload them to Tiny Image
From my GitLab page, I navigated to my username > “docs” > “images” > “home” > “+” > “upload file”
Tips
- Use lowercase letters for image file names
Web IDE¶
Let's go to our Web IDE
- Here are some commands I used. When you're not sure how to write a command, ask ChatGPT for help, whether it's in Markdown or HTML or look for a Markdown cheet sheet for basic syntax
IMAGES¶
Add images

Tips
- Refresh the page before linking an image. Otherwise, the image you uploaded won't appear in the IDE
Align images
Tips
- If you want to include an image with text aligned to the left or right, first insert the image code and then the text
Centered images
COMMIT¶
Once you've added information to your page, it's time to save your changes.
Go to the Source Code Control option. Enter a name for the change, then click the “commit and push to main” button so that the changes are reflected on the main page.
You can check whether your changes have been updated correctly in the GitLab window > “Code” > “Commits,” where you’ll be able to see the progress of the changes until a green checkmark appears, which means the changes are ready.

TEXT¶
**Align text
<h3 align="left/right/center">text</h3>
two columns of text
For this type of text, I created them in Illustrator so they wouldn't lose quality, and I saved them in SVG format to make them smaller in file size.

VIDEOS¶
In order to add a YouTube video to your video page, you must copy it’s embed code and paste it on your web IDE.
LINK PAGES¶
[Name of page](URL)
AUDIO¶
Record an audio file, then upload it to GitLab in the folder “docs” > ‘files’ > “+” > “upload file”.
insert audio
