1. Find and replace any occurrences of the old location with the new one. 1. Find and replace any occurrences of the old location with the new one.
A quick way to find them is to use `grep`: A quick way to find them is to use `grep`. First go to the root directory
where you cloned the `gitlab-ce` repository and then do:
``` ```
grep -nR "lfs_administration.md" doc/ grep -nR "workflow/lfs/lfs_administration" app/ doc/ spec/
grep -nR "lfs/lfs_administration" app/ doc/ spec/
``` ```
The above command will search in the `doc/` directory for Things to note:
`lfs_administration.md` recursively and will print the file and the line
where this file is mentioned. Note that we used just the filename - Since we also use inline documentation, except for the documentation itself,
(`lfs_administration.md`) and not the whole the relative path the document might also be referenced in the views of GitLab (`app/`) which will
(`workflow/lfs/lfs_administration.md`). render when visiting `/help`, and sometimes in the testing suite (`spec/`).
- The above `grep` command will search in the `app/`, `doc/` and `spec/`
directories for `workflow/lfs/lfs_administration` and `lfs/lfs_administration`
recursively and will print the file and the line where this file is mentioned.
You may ask why the two greps. Since we use relative paths to link to
documentation, sometimes it might be useful to search a path deeper.
- The `*.md` extension is not used when a document is linked to GitLab's
built-in help page, that's why we omit it in `grep`.
