Editing and making a patch file

  1. In order to make a patch file, you will need to use the Git version control software. There are generic instructions on Git at: https://www.drupal.org/documentation/git/ -- if you have never used Git, you will probably want to read the introductory material, and you'll need to install Git.
  2. Specific Git instructions for the User Guide project can be found at https://www.drupal.org/project/user_guide/git-instructions . Follow the instructions to "clone" the repository (see the "One-time only" instructions).
  3. Make the edits for this issue, using a plain-text editor. The source files are located in the source/en subdirectory, and have extension .txt, and are in AsciiDoc format (see below).
  4. Go back to the specific Git instructions page and follow the instructions there to make a patch file. There are also more detailed git patch instructions in the Git documentation section linked above.

AsciiDoc formatting

I've removed the patch that only patches config-basic.txt here to include it into the larger patch #2699005: Copy edit two references pages

I've now centralized instructions for the editing tasks. I'll go ahead and leave the instructions on these issues, but you can also go to
https://userguide_new-drupal.dev.devdrupal.org/guidelines/instructions.h...
(log in with drupal / drupal)
and follow the instructions there (probably more complete).

Thanks kiki29,

I had only reported the issue, not assigned myself to it, so it's great to look at this.

Thanks for confirming that there is wrong spelling, so I can close the issue as fixed.
