How to set up and validate locally
Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.
-
Configure a local GitLab Docs environment: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/technical-writing-group/gitlab-docs-hugo/-/blob/main/doc/setup.md. -
Run searches for words that are similar to other common words on the site, like stagingorlinkedinorscaling. Results that match your terms exactly should rank above results that are fuzzy matches (different by only a few letters).
