A while ago I created a Gitiles improvement with the help of more
experienced hackers (my first time using Java). It adds an [edit] link
to file views when you are browsing files at a branch. Clicking this
link will immediately create a new patch in Gerrit (a warning dialog
would be nice and I will look into this later).
I have updated our Gerrit editing wiki article which is based around
Help, but can of course be applied to any of our repos:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/GerritEditing#Inline_Editing_of_Help_pages
I made another improvement to Gitiles which Guilhem kindly applied to
our instance while it's not yet in an official release: the ability to
view the source of Markdown files had disappeared 6 years ago and I
restored it. While viewing something like
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/master/README.md you will now see
"source log blame" links at the bottom. This also allows easy quick
edits to the content of our Hugo-based sites such as
https://git.libreoffice.org/infra/documentfoundationorg/ and
https://git.libreoffice.org/infra/libreofficeorg/
