Option 1: Edit directly on GitHub (easiest)
Every page has an “Edit this page on GitHub” link at the bottom. Here’s how to use it:
- Click the “Edit this page on GitHub” link on any page
- You’ll be taken to GitHub — sign in or create a free account if you don’t have one
- Make your changes in the editor (it’s just plain text with simple formatting)
- Scroll down and click “Propose changes”
- On the next screen, click “Create pull request”
- A maintainer will review and merge your change
That’s it. Your change will appear on the site within a few minutes of being approved.
Option 2: Open an issue
If you’d rather not edit directly, you can open an issue on GitHub describing what needs changing. Someone else will pick it up.
Good issues include:
- “The gym hours on the gym page are wrong — it’s actually 6am-10pm”
- “Can someone add info about the bike storage?”
- “The pet deposit amount has changed”
Option 3: Message the group
Drop a message in the WhatsApp group and tag a maintainer. We’ll update the handbook for you.
Formatting basics
Pages are written in Markdown — a simple way to format text:
## Heading
**Bold text** and *italic text*
- Bullet point
- Another bullet point
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|:---------|:---------|
| Data | Data |
[Link text](https://example.com)Guidelines
- Be accurate — only add information you’re confident about
- Cite your source — mention if info comes from the handbook, management, or personal experience
- Keep it friendly — this is a community resource, not a complaints board
- No personal info — don’t include anyone’s name, flat number, or contact details without their permission
