Tutorial page type | GitLab Docs

A tutorial is page that contains an end-to-end walkthrough of a complex workflow or scenario. In general, you might consider using a tutorial when:

Tutorial guidance Tutorial filename and location

For tutorial Markdown files, you can either:

In the left nav, add the tutorial near the relevant feature documentation.

Add a link to the tutorial on one of the tutorial pages.

Tutorial format

Tutorials should be in this format:

title: Title (starts with "Tutorial:" followed by an active verb, like "Tutorial: Create a website")
---

<!-- vale gitlab_base.FutureTense = NO -->

A paragraph that explains what the tutorial does, and the expected outcome.

To create a website:

1. [Do the first task](#do-the-first-task)
1. [Do the second task](#do-the-second-task)

## Before you begin

This section is optional.

- Thing 1
- Thing 2
- Thing 3

## Do the first task

To do step 1:

1. First step.
1. Another step.
1. Another step.

## Do the second task

Before you begin, make sure you have [done the first task](#do-the-first-task).

To do step 2:

1. First step.
1. Another step.
1. Another step.

An example of a tutorial that follows this format is Tutorial: Make your first Git commit.

Tutorial page title

Start the page title with Tutorial: followed by an active verb, like Tutorial: Create a website.

In the left nav, use the full page title. Do not abbreviate it. Put the text in quotes so the pipeline succeeds. For example, "Tutorial: Make your first Git commit".

On the Learn GitLab with tutorials page, do not use Tutorial in the title.

Screenshots

You can include screenshots in a tutorial to illustrate important steps in the process. In the core product documentation, you should use illustrations sparingly. However, in tutorials, screenshots can help users understand where they are in a complex process.

Try to balance the number of screenshots in the tutorial so they don’t disrupt the narrative flow. For example, do not put one large screenshot in the middle of the tutorial. Instead, put multiple, smaller screenshots throughout.

Tutorial voice

Use a friendlier tone than you would for other topic types. For example, you can:

On pages that are tutorials, add the most appropriate stage: and group: metadata at the top of the file. If the majority of the content does not align with a single group, specify none for the stage and Tutorials for the group:

stage: none
group: Tutorials
