Summary

A developer describes an effective workflow for simultaneously managing two Git branches using both a local development environment and the GitLab Web IDE. This approach allows them to conduct development work on one branch while documenting the process on another, avoiding the delay of merging development work until documentation is complete. By creating separate merge requests for development and documentation, they ensure that each component can be reviewed and iterated upon individually. The developer uses multiple editors, including Atom for local changes and the Web IDE for real-time documentation, to maintain accuracy and reproducibility. The article encourages readers to share their own experiences with the Web IDE and hints at future enhancements for DevOps tools.
