Using the WEB IDE

If you are not familiar with Git, editing your website using the Web IDE is a simple way to update your website.

From the Gitlab website click on the Projects link in the sidebar, or use the following link https://gitlab.grit.ucsb.edu/dashboard/projects

In your project, use the file view, to find the file you want to edit, and then click on the file. screenshot-2026-04-24-152627.png

Once you have selected the file, click Edit, and then Open in Web IDE, or Edit single file.screenshot-2026-04-24-152645.png

Once you are done editing files, click the Source Control icon (Commit changes when editing a single file)screenshot-2026-04-24-152705.png

 In the text dialog, you can write a brief description of your changes (or leave it blank), and click Commit and push to 'main'

Once this is done, your page should build. It might take a few minutes for the changes to show up on your website.
