Quickfix

For really quick fixes:

1. Browse the documentation source code directly on the GitHub website:

   • https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/tree/main/doc/en

2. Navigate to the file you wish to change and click the edit icon

   GitHub Preview of style.rst page

   Note: you must first be signed into GitHub, and GitHub will help you create a fork from which to submit the quick fix, (we recommend that you keep the fork for next time.)

3. Use the editor to modify the file

   GitHub Editor for style.rst page

4. Scroll to the bottom of the page, provide a commit comment and submit.

5. GitHub will:

   • Create a fork and submit a pull request on your behalf; or
   • Immediately make the change for those with commit access

Warning

This technique is great for fixing small typos - but has the danger of introducing formatting mistakes preventing the documentation from being generated.
