Suitable for individual changes and minor corrections without a local installation. Requires a GitHub account and familiarity with Markdown.

How to do it:

  1. Go to the page you wish to edit
  2. Click the “Edit” menu in the top-right corner and select “Edit in GitHub” (at the bottom of the menu, in italics)
  3. Make your changes in the Markdown field on GitHub
  4. Scroll down to “Commit changes”
  5. Write a brief description of what you changed
  6. Select “Create a new branch and start a pull request” (recommended), or commit directly to main if you have the necessary permissions
  7. Click “Propose changes” – an editor will review and approve it

The page is published automatically within a minute of the change being approved.
