In reply to @maryjane_:matrix.org
Hi fricklerhandwerk i am currently working on this issue.
what do I Document in place of ' make ' ?
It’s in the example: you’d run the custom devmode command

@maryjane_:matrix.orgMaryjaneOkay so the instruction should say "You can quickly validate your edits with devmode command" ?19:15:02

@maryjane_:matrix.orgMaryjane 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_:matrix.orgMaryjanetried to build the manual locally using: /nix/store/dvm0rj35kfphj44rc4pn89cw9cs9bf3i-nixos-manual-html but my edits are not visible yet15:57:04
@maryjane_:matrix.orgMaryjaneJust trying to confirm before i send in a PR16:20:56
@elikoga:matrix.orgelikogaCan you clarify what you mean by that?16:36:42
@maryjane_:matrix.orgMaryjanesure! let me give a breakdown on what i did . 16:40:41
@maryjane_:matrix.orgMaryjaneI 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 clarification16:43:47

@elikoga:matrix.orgelikoga Have you run devmode and reviewed your changes in the live preview that opens after running the command? 16:45:11
@elikoga:matrix.orgelikoga * 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_:matrix.orgMaryjaneNo I haven't16:46:22
@elikoga:matrix.orgelikoga 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_:matrix.orgMaryjane Okay elikoga thank you for clarifying 18:18:23
