 Maryjane | Hello everyone, I need some help.
i am currently working on fixing the inconsistencies in the nixOs manual, just like fricklerhandwerk pointed out which i have done
but now i am trying to confirm if the edits are visible already on the manual, but it isn't. what could be the issue? | 15:56:13 |
| Maryjane | tried to build the manual locally using: /nix/store/dvm0rj35kfphj44rc4pn89cw9cs9bf3i-nixos-manual-html
but my edits are not visible yet | 15:57:04 |
| Maryjane | Just trying to confirm before i send in a PR | 16:20:56 |
 elikoga | Can you clarify what you mean by that? | 16:36:42 |
| Maryjane | sure! let me give a breakdown on what i did .
| 16:40:41 |
| Maryjane | I used the Nix-shell environment to build the NixOs manually
i edited these inconsistencies using the nano text editor, after doing that i tried to confirm if the edits i made has reflected in the nixOS manual before i send in a PR but it hasn't and that is why i am asking my question for clarification | 16:43:47 |

| elikoga | Have you run devmode and reviewed your changes in the live preview that opens after running the command? | 16:45:11 |
| elikoga | * Have you run devmode like fricklerhandwerk said and reviewed your changes in the live preview that opens after running the command? | 16:45:35 |
| Maryjane | No I haven't | 16:46:22 |
| elikoga | Please do. After reviewing the changes in the browser tab opened by devmode, you can try building the docs using nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux and open the docs using xdg-open /nix/store/OUTPUTHASHHERE-nixos-manual-html/share/doc/nixos/index.html. You may need to adjust the path to nixos/release.nix depending on your current working directory. | 16:49:20 |
| Maryjane | Okay elikoga thank you for clarifying | 18:18:23 |
