+# Autocomplete characters
+
+The autocomplete characters provide a quick way of entering field values into
+Markdown fields. When you start typing a word in a Markdown field with one of
+the following characters, GitLab progressively autocompletes against a set of
+matching values. The string matching is not case sensitive.
+
+| Character | Autocompletes |
+| :-------- | :------------ |
+| `~` | Labels |
+| `%` | Milestones |
+| `@` | Users and groups |
+| `#` | Issues |
+| `!` | Merge requests |
+| `&` | Epics |
+| `$` | Snippets |
+| `:` | Emoji |
+| `/` | Quick Actions |
+
+Up to 5 of the most relevant matches are displayed in a popup list. When you
+select an item from the list, the value is entered in the field. The more
+characters you enter, the more precise the matches are.
+
+Autocomplete characters are useful when combined with [Quick Actions](quick_actions.md).
+
+## Example
+
+Assume your GitLab instance includes the following users:
+
+| Username | Name |
+| :-------------- | :--- |
+| alessandra | Rosy Grant |
+| lawrence.white | Kelsey Kerluke |
+| leanna | Rosemarie Rogahn |
+| logan_gutkowski | Lee Wuckert |
+| shelba | Josefine Haley |
+
+In an Issue comment, entering `@l` results in the following popup list
+appearing. Note that user `shelba` is not included, because the list includes
+only the 5 users most relevant to the Issue.
+
+![Popup list which includes users whose username or name contains the letter `l`](img/autocomplete_characters_example1_v12_0.png)
+
+If you continue to type, `@le`, the popup list changes to the following. The
+popup now only includes users where `le` appears in their username, or a word in
+their name.

-Connect your project to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or an existing Kubernetes
-cluster in a few steps.
+GitLab provides many features with a Kubernetes integration. Kubernetes can be
+integrated with projects, but also:
+
+- [Groups](../../group/clusters/index.md).
+- [Instances](../../instance/clusters/index.md).
+
+NOTE: **Scalable app deployment with GitLab and Google Cloud Platform**
+[Watch the webcast](https://about.gitlab.com/webcast/scalable-app-deploy/) and learn how to spin up a Kubernetes cluster managed by Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in a few clicks.
## Overview
-With one or more Kubernetes clusters associated to your project, you can use
-[Review Apps](../../../ci/review_apps/index.md), deploy your applications, run
-your pipelines, use it with [Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md),
-and much more, all from within GitLab.
+Using the GitLab project Kubernetes integration, you can:
+
+- Use [Review Apps](../../../ci/review_apps/index.md).
+- Run [pipelines](../../../ci/pipelines.md).
+- [Deploy](#deploying-to-a-kubernetes-cluster) your applications.
+- Detect and [monitor Kubernetes](#kubernetes-monitoring).
+- Use it with [Auto DevOps](#auto-devops).
+- Use [Web terminals](#web-terminals).
+- Use [Deploy Boards](#deploy-boards-premium). **(PREMIUM)**
+- Use [Canary Deployments](#canary-deployments-premium). **(PREMIUM)**
+- View [Pod logs](#pod-logs-ultimate). **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+You can also:
+
+- Connect and deploy to an [Amazon EKS cluster](eks_and_gitlab/index.html).
+- Run serverless workloads on [Kubernetes with Knative](serverless/index.md).
+
+### Deploy Boards **(PREMIUM)**
+
+GitLab's Deploy Boards offer a consolidated view of the current health and
+status of each CI [environment](../../../ci/environments.md) running on Kubernetes,
+displaying the status of the pods in the deployment. Developers and other
+teammates can view the progress and status of a rollout, pod by pod, in the
+workflow they already use without any need to access Kubernetes.
+
+[Read more about Deploy Boards](../deploy_boards.md)
+
+### Canary Deployments **(PREMIUM)**
+
+Leverage [Kubernetes' Canary deployments](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/manage-deployment/#canary-deployments)
+and visualize your canary deployments right inside the Deploy Board, without
+the need to leave GitLab.
+
+[Read more about Canary Deployments](../canary_deployments.md)
+
+### Pod logs **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+GitLab makes it easy to view the logs of running pods in connected Kubernetes clusters. By displaying the logs directly in GitLab, developers can avoid having to manage console tools or jump to a different interface.
+
+[Read more about Kubernetes pod logs](kubernetes_pod_logs.md)

+### Kubernetes monitoring
-There are two options when adding a new cluster to your project; either associate
-your account with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) so that you can [create new
-clusters](#adding-and-creating-a-new-gke-cluster-via-gitlab) from within GitLab,
-or provide the credentials to an [existing Kubernetes cluster](#adding-an-existing-kubernetes-cluster).
+Automatically detect and monitor Kubernetes metrics. Automatic monitoring of
+[NGINX ingress](../integrations/prometheus_library/nginx.md) is also supported.
+
+[Read more about Kubernetes monitoring](../integrations/prometheus_library/kubernetes.md)
+
+### Auto DevOps
+
+Auto DevOps automatically detects, builds, tests, deploys, and monitors your
+applications.
+
+To make full use of Auto DevOps(Auto Deploy, Auto Review Apps, and Auto Monitoring)
+you will need the Kubernetes project integration enabled.
+
+[Read more about Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md)
+
+NOTE: **Note**
+Kubernetes clusters can be used without Auto DevOps.
+
+### Web terminals
NOTE: **Note:**
-From [GitLab 11.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/34758) you
-can also associate a Kubernetes cluster to your groups and from
-[GitLab 11.11](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/39840),
-to the GitLab instance. Learn more about [group-level](../../group/clusters/index.md)
-and [instance-level](../../instance/clusters/index.md) Kubernetes clusters.
+Introduced in GitLab 8.15. You must be the project owner or have `maintainer` permissions
+to use terminals. Support is limited to the first container in the
+first pod of your environment.
+
+When enabled, the Kubernetes service adds [web terminal](../../../ci/environments.md#web-terminals)
+support to your [environments](../../../ci/environments.md). This is based on the `exec` functionality found in
+Docker and Kubernetes, so you get a new shell session within your existing
+containers. To use this integration, you should deploy to Kubernetes using
+the deployment variables above, ensuring any deployments, replica sets, and
+pods are annotated with:
+
+- `app.gitlab.com/env: $CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG`
+- `app.gitlab.com/app: $CI_PROJECT_PATH_SLUG`
-## Adding and creating a new GKE cluster via GitLab

Keeping an eye on cluster resources can be important, if the cluster runs out of memory pods may be shutdown or fail to start.

-## Enabling or disabling the Kubernetes cluster integration
-
-After you have successfully added your cluster information, you can enable the
-Kubernetes cluster integration:
-
-1. Click the **Enabled/Disabled** switch
-1. Hit **Save** for the changes to take effect
-
-You can now start using your Kubernetes cluster for your deployments.
-
-To disable the Kubernetes cluster integration, follow the same procedure.
-
-## Removing the Kubernetes cluster integration
-
-NOTE: **Note:**
-You need Maintainer [permissions] and above to remove a Kubernetes cluster integration.
-
-NOTE: **Note:**
-When you remove a cluster, you only remove its relation to GitLab, not the
-cluster itself. To remove the cluster, you can do so by visiting the GKE
-dashboard or using `kubectl`.
-
-To remove the Kubernetes cluster integration from your project, simply click the
-**Remove integration** button. You will then be able to follow the procedure
-and add a Kubernetes cluster again.
-
-## What you can get with the Kubernetes integration
-
-Here's what you can do with GitLab if you enable the Kubernetes integration.
-
-### Deploy Boards **[PREMIUM]**
-
-GitLab's Deploy Boards offer a consolidated view of the current health and
-status of each CI [environment](../../../ci/environments.md) running on Kubernetes,
-displaying the status of the pods in the deployment. Developers and other
-teammates can view the progress and status of a rollout, pod by pod, in the
-workflow they already use without any need to access Kubernetes.
-
-[Read more about Deploy Boards](../deploy_boards.md)
-
-### Canary Deployments **[PREMIUM]**
-
-Leverage [Kubernetes' Canary deployments](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/manage-deployment/#canary-deployments)
-and visualize your canary deployments right inside the Deploy Board, without
-the need to leave GitLab.
-
-[Read more about Canary Deployments](../canary_deployments.md)
-
-### Pod logs **[ULTIMATE]**
-
-GitLab makes it easy to view the logs of running pods in connected Kubernetes clusters. By displaying the logs directly in GitLab, developers can avoid having to manage console tools or jump to a different interface.
-
-[Read more about Kubernetes pod logs](kubernetes_pod_logs.md)
-
-### Kubernetes monitoring
-
-Automatically detect and monitor Kubernetes metrics. Automatic monitoring of
-[NGINX ingress](../integrations/prometheus_library/nginx.md) is also supported.
-
-[Read more about Kubernetes monitoring](../integrations/prometheus_library/kubernetes.md)
-
-### Auto DevOps
-
-Auto DevOps automatically detects, builds, tests, deploys, and monitors your
-applications.
-
-To make full use of Auto DevOps(Auto Deploy, Auto Review Apps, and Auto Monitoring)
-you will need the Kubernetes project integration enabled.
-
-[Read more about Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md)
-
-### Web terminals
-
-NOTE: **Note:**
-Introduced in GitLab 8.15. You must be the project owner or have `maintainer` permissions
-to use terminals. Support is limited to the first container in the
-first pod of your environment.
-
-When enabled, the Kubernetes service adds [web terminal](../../../ci/environments.md#web-terminals)
-support to your [environments](../../../ci/environments.md). This is based on the `exec` functionality found in
-Docker and Kubernetes, so you get a new shell session within your existing
-containers. To use this integration, you should deploy to Kubernetes using
-the deployment variables above, ensuring any pods you create are labelled with
-`app=$CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG`. GitLab will do the rest!

+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+The "invocations" monitoring feature of GitLab serverless will not work when
+adding an existing installation of Knative.
+
+It is also possible to use GitLab Serverless with an existing Kubernetes
+cluster which already has Knative installed.
+
+You must do the following:
+
+1. Follow the steps to
+ [add an existing Kubernetes
+ cluster](../index.md#add-existing-kubernetes-cluster).
+
+1. Ensure GitLab can manage Knative:
+ - For a non-GitLab managed cluster, ensure that the service account for the token
+ provided can manage resources in the `serving.knative.dev` API group.
+ - For a GitLab managed cluster, if you added the cluster in [GitLab 12.1 or later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/30235),
+ then GitLab will already have the required access and you can proceed to the next step.
+
+ Otherwise, you need to manually grant GitLab's service account the ability to manage
+ resources in the `serving.knative.dev` API group. Since every GitLab service account
+ has the `edit` cluster role, the simplest way to do this is with an
+ [aggregated ClusterRole](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#aggregated-clusterroles)
+ adding rules to the default `edit` cluster role: First, save the following YAML as
+ `knative-serving-only-role.yaml`:
+
+ ```yaml
+ apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
+ kind: ClusterRole
+ metadata:
+ name: knative-serving-only-role
+ labels:
+ rbac.authorization.k8s.io/aggregate-to-edit: "true"

+ - apiGroups:
+ - serving.knative.dev

+ - configurations
+ - configurationgenerations
+ - routes
+ - revisions
+ - revisionuids
+ - autoscalers
+ - services
+ verbs:
+ - get
+ - list
+ - create
+ - update
+ - delete
+ - patch
+ - watch
+ ```
+
+ Then run the following command:
+
+ ```bash
+ kubectl apply -f knative-serving-only-role.yaml
+ ```
+
+ If you would rather grant permissions on a per service account basis, you can do this
+ using a `Role` and `RoleBinding` specific to the service account and namespace.
+

+## Enabling TLS for Knative services
+
+By default, a GitLab serverless deployment will be served over `http`. In order to serve over `https` you
+must manually obtain and install TLS certificates.
+
+The simplest way to accomplish this is to
+use [Certbot to manually obtain Let's Encrypt certificates](https://knative.dev/docs/serving/using-a-tls-cert/#using-certbot-to-manually-obtain-let-s-encrypt-certificates). Certbot is a free, open source software tool for automatically using Let’s Encrypt certificates on manually-administrated websites to enable HTTPS.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+The instructions below relate to installing and running Certbot on a Linux server and may not work on other operating systems.
+
+1. Install Certbot by running the
+ [`certbot-auto` wrapper script](https://certbot.eff.org/docs/install.html#certbot-auto).
+ On the command line of your server, run the following commands:
+
+ ```sh
+ wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
+ sudo mv certbot-auto /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto
+ sudo chown root /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto
+ chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto
+ /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto --help
+ ```
+
+ To check the integrity of the `certbot-auto` script, run:
+
+ ```sh
+ wget -N https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto.asc
+ gpg2 --keyserver ipv4.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key A2CFB51FA275A7286234E7B24D17C995CD9775F2
+ gpg2 --trusted-key 4D17C995CD9775F2 --verify certbot-auto.asc /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto
+ ```
+
+ The output of the last command should look something like:
+
+ ```sh
+ gpg: Signature made Mon 10 Jun 2019 06:24:40 PM EDT
+ gpg: using RSA key A2CFB51FA275A7286234E7B24D17C995CD9775F2
+ gpg: key 4D17C995CD9775F2 marked as ultimately trusted
+ gpg: checking the trustdb
+ gpg: marginals needed: 3 completes needed: 1 trust model: pgp
+ gpg: depth: 0 valid: 1 signed: 0 trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u
+ gpg: next trustdb check due at 2027-11-22
+ gpg: Good signature from "Let's Encrypt Client Team <letsencrypt-client@eff.org>" [ultimate]
+ ```
+
+1. Run the following command to use Certbot to request a certificate
+ using DNS challenge during authorization:
+
+ ```sh
+ ./certbot-auto certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns -d '*.<namespace>.example.com'
+ ```
+
+ Where `<namespace>` is the namespace created by GitLab for your serverless project (composed of `<project_name>-<project_id>-<environment>`) and
+ `example.com` is the domain being used for your project. If you are unsure what the namespace of your project is, navigate
+ to the **Operations > Serverless** page of your project and inspect
+ the endpoint provided for your function/app.
+
+ ![function_endpoint](img/function-endpoint.png)
+
+ In the above image, the namespace for the project is `node-function-11909507` and the domain is `knative.info`, thus
+ certificate request line would look like this:
+
+ ```sh
+ ./certbot-auto certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns -d '*.node-function-11909507.knative.info'
+ ```
+
+ The Certbot tool walks you through the steps of validating that you own each domain that you specify by creating TXT records in those domains.
+ After this process is complete, the output should look something like this:
+
+ ```sh
+ IMPORTANT NOTES:
+ - Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
+ /etc/letsencrypt/live/namespace.example.com/fullchain.pem
+ Your key file has been saved at:
+ /etc/letsencrypt/live/namespace.example/privkey.pem
+ Your cert will expire on 2019-09-19. To obtain a new or tweaked
+ version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot-auto
+ again. To non-interactively renew *all* of your certificates, run
+ "certbot-auto renew"
+ -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
+ - Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
+ configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a
+ secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
+ also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
+ making regular backups of this folder is ideal.
+ ```
+
+1. Create certificate and private key files. Using the contents of the files
+ returned by Certbot, we'll create two files in order to create the
+ Kubernetes secret:
+
+ Run the following command to see the contents of `fullchain.pem`:
+
+ ```sh
+ sudo cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/node-function-11909507.knative.info/fullchain.pem
+ ```
+
+ Output should look like this:

+ ```sh

+ Running `kubectl` commands on your cluster requires setting up access to the cluster first.

+ --key cert.pk \
+ --cert cert.pem
+ ```
+
+ Where `cert.pem` and `cert.pk` are your certificate and private key files. Note that the `istio-ingressgateway-certs` secret name is required.
+
+1. Configure Knative to use the new secret that you created for HTTPS
+ connections. Run the
+ following command to open the Knative shared `gateway` in edit mode:
+
+ ```sh
+ kubectl edit gateway knative-ingress-gateway --namespace knative-serving
+ ```
+
+ Update the gateway to include the following tls: section and configuration:
+
+ ```sh
+ tls:
+ mode: SIMPLE
+ privateKey: /etc/istio/ingressgateway-certs/tls.key
+ serverCertificate: /etc/istio/ingressgateway-certs/tls.crt
+ ```
+
+ Example:
+
+ ```sh
+ apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
+ kind: Gateway
+ metadata:
+ # ... skipped ...
+ spec:
+ selector:
+ istio: ingressgateway

+ protocol: HTTPS
+ tls:
+ mode: SIMPLE
+ privateKey: /etc/istio/ingressgateway-certs/tls.key
+ serverCertificate: /etc/istio/ingressgateway-certs/tls.crt
+ ```
+
+ After your changes are running on your Knative cluster, you can begin using the HTTPS protocol for secure access your deployed Knative services.
+ In the event a mistake is made during this process and you need to update the cert, you will need to edit the gateway `knative-ingress-gateway`
+ to switch back to `PASSTHROUGH` mode. Once corrections are made, edit the file again so the gateway will use the new certificates.

-# Cycle Analytics
-
-Cycle Analytics measures the time spent to go from an [idea to production] - also known
-as cycle time - for each of your projects. Cycle Analytics displays the median time for an idea to
-reach production, along with the time typically spent in each DevOps stage along the way.
-
-Cycle Analytics is useful in order to quickly determine the velocity of a given
-project. It points to bottlenecks in the development process, enabling management
-to uncover, triage, and root-cause slowdowns in the software development life cycle.
-
-Cycle Analytics is tightly coupled with the [GitLab flow] and
-calculates a separate median for each stage.
-
-## Overview
-
-You can find the Cycle Analytics page under your project's **Project ➔ Cycle
-Analytics** tab.
-
-![Cycle Analytics landing page](img/cycle_analytics_landing_page.png)
-
-There are seven stages that are tracked as part of the Cycle Analytics calculations.
-
-- **Issue** (Tracker)
- - Time to schedule an issue (by milestone or by adding it to an issue board)
-- **Plan** (Board)
- - Time to first commit
-- **Code** (IDE)
- - Time to create a merge request
-- **Test** (CI)
- - Time it takes GitLab CI/CD to test your code
-- **Review** (Merge Request/MR)
- - Time spent on code review
-- **Staging** (Continuous Deployment)
- - Time between merging and deploying to production
-- **Production** (Total)
- - Total lifecycle time; i.e. the velocity of the project or team
-
-## How the data is measured
-
-Cycle Analytics records cycle time and data based on the project issues with the
-exception of the staging and production stages, where only data deployed to
-production are measured.
-
-Specifically, if your CI is not set up and you have not defined a `production`
-or `production/*` [environment], then you will not have any data for those stages.
-
-Below you can see in more detail what the various stages of Cycle Analytics mean.
-
-| **Stage** | **Description** |
-| --------- | --------------- |
-| Issue | Measures the median time between creating an issue and taking action to solve it, by either labeling it or adding it to a milestone, whatever comes first. The label will be tracked only if it already has an [Issue Board list][board] created for it. |
-| Plan | Measures the median time between the action you took for the previous stage, and pushing the first commit to the branch. The very first commit of the branch is the one that triggers the separation between **Plan** and **Code**, and at least one of the commits in the branch needs to contain the related issue number (e.g., `#42`). If none of the commits in the branch mention the related issue number, it is not considered to the measurement time of the stage. |
-| Code | Measures the median time between pushing a first commit (previous stage) and creating a merge request (MR) related to that commit. The key to keep the process tracked is to include the [issue closing pattern] to the description of the merge request (for example, `Closes #xxx`, where `xxx` is the number of the issue related to this merge request). If the issue closing pattern is not present in the merge request description, the MR is not considered to the measurement time of the stage. |
-| Test | Measures the median time to run the entire pipeline for that project. It's related to the time GitLab CI takes to run every job for the commits pushed to that merge request defined in the previous stage. It is basically the start->finish time for all pipelines. |
-| Review | Measures the median time taken to review the merge request that has closing issue pattern, between its creation and until it's merged. |
-| Staging | Measures the median time between merging the merge request with closing issue pattern until the very first deployment to production. It's tracked by the [environment] set to `production` or matching `production/*` (case-sensitive, `Production` won't work) in your GitLab CI configuration. If there isn't a production environment, this is not tracked. |
-| Production| The sum of all time (medians) taken to run the entire process, from issue creation to deploying the code to production. |
-
+---
+redirect_to: '../analytics/cycle_analytics.md'
---
-Here's a little explanation of how this works behind the scenes:
-
-1. Issues and merge requests are grouped together in pairs, such that for each
- `<issue, merge request>` pair, the merge request has the [issue closing pattern]
- for the corresponding issue. All other issues and merge requests are **not**
- considered.
-1. Then the `<issue, merge request>` pairs are filtered out by last XX days (specified
- by the UI - default is 90 days). So it prohibits these pairs from being considered.
-1. For the remaining `<issue, merge request>` pairs, we check the information that
- we need for the stages, like issue creation date, merge request merge time,
- etc.
-
-To sum up, anything that doesn't follow the [GitLab flow] won't be tracked at all.
-So, the Cycle Analytics dashboard won't present any data:
-
-- For merge requests that do not close an issue.
-- For issues not labeled with a label present in the Issue Board or for issues not assigned a milestone.
-- For staging and production stages, if the project has no `production` or `production/*`
- environment.
-
-## Example workflow
-
-Below is a simple fictional workflow of a single cycle that happens in a
-single day passing through all seven stages. Note that if a stage does not have
-a start and a stop mark, it is not measured and hence not calculated in the median
-time. It is assumed that milestones are created and CI for testing and setting
-environments is configured.
-
-1. Issue is created at 09:00 (start of **Issue** stage).
-1. Issue is added to a milestone at 11:00 (stop of **Issue** stage / start of
- **Plan** stage).
-1. Start working on the issue, create a branch locally and make one commit at
- 12:00.
-1. Make a second commit to the branch which mentions the issue number at 12.30
- (stop of **Plan** stage / start of **Code** stage).
-1. Push branch and create a merge request that contains the [issue closing pattern]
- in its description at 14:00 (stop of **Code** stage / start of **Test** and
- **Review** stages).
-1. The CI starts running your scripts defined in [`.gitlab-ci.yml`][yml] and
- takes 5min (stop of **Test** stage).
-1. Review merge request, ensure that everything is OK and merge the merge
- request at 19:00. (stop of **Review** stage / start of **Staging** stage).
-1. Now that the merge request is merged, a deployment to the `production`
- environment starts and finishes at 19:30 (stop of **Staging** stage).
-1. The cycle completes and the sum of the median times of the previous stages
- is recorded to the **Production** stage. That is the time between creating an
- issue and deploying its relevant merge request to production.
-
-From the above example you can conclude the time it took each stage to complete
-as long as their total time:
-
-- **Issue**: 2h (11:00 - 09:00)
-- **Plan**: 1h (12:00 - 11:00)
-- **Code**: 2h (14:00 - 12:00)
-- **Test**: 5min
-- **Review**: 5h (19:00 - 14:00)
-- **Staging**: 30min (19:30 - 19:00)
-- **Production**: Since this stage measures the sum of median time off all
- previous stages, we cannot calculate it if we don't know the status of the
- stages before. In case this is the very first cycle that is run in the project,
- then the **Production** time is 10h 30min (19:30 - 09:00)
-
-A few notes:
-
-- In the above example we demonstrated that it doesn't matter if your first
- commit doesn't mention the issue number, you can do this later in any commit
- of the branch you are working on.
-- You can see that the **Test** stage is not calculated to the overall time of
- the cycle since it is included in the **Review** process (every MR should be
- tested).
-- The example above was just **one cycle** of the seven stages. Add multiple
- cycles, calculate their median time and the result is what the dashboard of
- Cycle Analytics is showing.
-
-## Permissions
-
-The current permissions on the Cycle Analytics dashboard are:
-
-- Public projects - anyone can access
-- Internal projects - any authenticated user can access
-- Private projects - any member Guest and above can access
-
-You can [read more about permissions][permissions] in general.

-[TFS](https://www.visualstudio.com/tfs/) is a set of tools developed by Microsoft
-which also includes a centralized version control system (TFVC) similar to Git.
-
-In this document, we emphasize on the TFVC to Git migration.
-
-## TFVC vs Git
-
-The following list illustrates the main differences between TFVC and Git:
-
-- **Git is distributed** whereas TFVC is centralized using a client-server
- architecture. This translates to Git having a more flexible workflow since
- your working area is a copy of the entire repository. This decreases the
- overhead when switching branches or merging for example, since you don't have
- to communicate with a remote server.
-- **Storage method.** Changes in CVS are per file (changeset), while in Git
- a committed file(s) is stored in its entirety (snapshot). That means that's
- very easy in Git to revert or undo a whole change.
-
-_Check also Microsoft's documentation on the
-[comparison of Git and TFVC](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/tfvc/comparison-git-tfvc)
-and the Wikipedia article on
-[comparing the different version control software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_version_control_software)._
-
-## Why migrate
-
-Migrating to Git/GitLab there is:
-
-- **No licensing costs**, Git is GPL while TFVC is proprietary.
-- **Shorter learning curve**, Git has a big community and a vast number of
- tutorials to get you started (see our [Git topic](../../../topics/git/index.md)).
-- **Integration with modern tools**, migrating to Git and GitLab you can have
- an open source end-to-end software development platform with built-in version
- control, issue tracking, code review, CI/CD, and more.
-
-## How to migrate
-
-The best option to migrate from TFVC to Git is to use the
-[`git-tfs`](https://github.com/git-tfs/git-tfs) tool. A specific guide for the
-migration exists:
-[Migrate TFS to Git](https://github.com/git-tfs/git-tfs/blob/master/doc/usecases/migrate_tfs_to_git.md).

+## Project aliases **(PREMIUM ONLY)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3264) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 12.1.
+
+When migrating repositories to GitLab and they are being accessed by other systems,
+it's very useful to be able to access them using the same name especially when
+they are a lot. It reduces the risk of changing significant number of Git URLs in
+a large number of systems.
+
+GitLab provides a functionality to help with this. In GitLab, repositories are
+usually accessed with a namespace and project name. It is also possible to access
+them via a project alias. This feature is only available on Git over SSH.
+
+A project alias can be only created via API and only by GitLab administrators.
+Follow the [Project Aliases API documentation](../../api/project_aliases.md) for
+more details.
+
+Once an alias has been created for a project (e.g., an alias `gitlab-ce` for the
+project `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce`), the repository can be cloned
+using the alias (e.g `git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-ce.git` instead of
+`git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git`).

+### Defining custom dashboards per project
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/59974) in GitLab 12.1.
+
+By default, all projects include a GitLab-defined Prometheus dashboard, which
+includes a few key metrics, but you can also define your own custom dashboards.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+The custom metrics as defined below do not support alerts, unlike
+[additional metrics](#adding-additional-metrics-premium).
+
+Dashboards have several components:
+
+- Panel groups, which comprise panels.
+- Panels, which support one or more metrics.
+
+To configure a custom dashboard:
+
+1. Create a YAML file with the `.yml` extension under your repository's root
+ directory inside `.gitlab/dashboards/`. For example, create
+ `.gitlab/dashboards/prom_alerts.yml` with the following contents:
+
+ ```yaml
+ dashboard: 'Dashboard Title'
+ panel_groups:
+ - group: 'Group Title'
+ panels:
+ - type: area-chart
+ title: "Chart Title"
+ y_label: "Y-Axis"
+ metrics:
+ - id: metric_of_ages
+ query_range: 'http_requests_total'
+ label: "Metric of Ages"
+ unit: "count"
+ ```
+
+ The above sample dashboard would display a single area chart. Each file should
+ define the layout of the dashboard and the Prometheus queries used to populate
+ data.
+
+1. Save the file, commit, and push to your repository.
+1. Navigate to your project's **Operations > Metrics** and choose the custom
+ dashboard from the dropdown.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+Configuration files nested under subdirectories of `.gitlab/dashboards` are not
+supported and will not be available in the UI.
+

+
+- The `<environment_id>` must correspond to a real environment.
+- Prometheus must be monitoring the environment.
+- The GitLab instance must be configured to receive data from the environment.
+- The user must be allowed access to the monitoring dashboard for the environment ([Reporter or higher](../../permissions.md)).
+- The dashboard must have data within the last 8 hours.

-# Automatic issue closing
-
->**Notes:**
->
-> - This is the user docs. In order to change the default issue closing pattern,
-> follow the steps in the [administration docs].
-> - For performance reasons, automatic issue closing is disabled for the very
-> first push from an existing repository.
-
-When a commit or merge request resolves one or more issues, it is possible to
-automatically have these issues closed when the commit or merge request lands
-in the project's default branch.
-
-If a commit message or merge request description contains a sentence matching
-a certain regular expression, all issues referenced from the matched text will
-be closed. This happens when the commit is pushed to a project's
-[**default** branch](../repository/branches/index.md#default-branch), or when a
-commit or merge request is merged into it.
-
-## Default closing pattern value
-
-When not specified, the default issue closing pattern as shown below will be
-used:
-
-```bash
-((?:[Cc]los(?:e[sd]?|ing)|[Ff]ix(?:e[sd]|ing)?|[Rr]esolv(?:e[sd]?|ing)|[Ii]mplement(?:s|ed|ing)?)(:?) +(?:(?:issues? +)?%{issue_ref}(?:(?:, *| +and +)?)|([A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+-\d+))+)
-```
-
-Note that `%{issue_ref}` is a complex regular expression defined inside GitLab's
-source code that can match references to:
-
-- A local issue (`#123`).
-- A cross-project issue (`group/project#123`).
-- A link to an issue
- (`https://gitlab.example.com/group/project/issues/123`).
-
---
-
-This translates to the following keywords:
-
-- Close, Closes, Closed, Closing, close, closes, closed, closing
-- Fix, Fixes, Fixed, Fixing, fix, fixes, fixed, fixing
-- Resolve, Resolves, Resolved, Resolving, resolve, resolves, resolved, resolving
-- Implement, Implements, Implemented, Implementing, implement, implements, implemented, implementing

-Fix #20, Fixes #21 and Closes group/otherproject#22.
-This commit is also related to #17 and fixes #18, #19
-and https://gitlab.example.com/group/otherproject/issues/23.
-```
-
-will close `#18`, `#19`, `#20`, and `#21` in the project this commit is pushed
-to, as well as `#22` and `#23` in group/otherproject. `#17` won't be closed as

+## Merge Requests for Confidential Issues
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/58583) in GitLab 12.1.
+
+To help prevent confidential information being leaked from a public project
+in the process of resolving a confidential issue, confidential issues can be
+resolved by creating a merge request from a private fork.
+
+The merge request created will target the default branch of the private fork,
+not the default branch of the public upstream project. This prevents the merge
+request, branch, and commits entering the public repository, and revealing
+confidential information prematurely. When the confidential commits are ready
+to be made public, this can be done by opening a merge request from the private
+fork to the public upstream project.
+
+TIP: **Best practice:**
+If you create a long-lived private fork in the same group or in a sub-group of
+the original upstream, all the users with Developer membership to the public
+project will also have the same permissions in the private project. This way,
+all the Developers, who have access to view confidential issues, will have a
+streamlined workflow for fixing them.
+
+### How it works
+
+On a confidential issue, a **Create confidential merge request** button is
+available. Clicking on it will open a dropdown where you can choose to
+**Create confidential merge request and branch** or **Create branch**:
+
+| Create confidential merge request | Create branch |
+| :-------------------------------: | :-----------: |
+| ![Create Confidential Merge Request Dropdown](img/confidential_mr_dropdown_v12_1.png) | ![Create Confidential Branch Dropdown](img/confidential_mr_branch_dropdown_v12_1.png) |
+
+The **Project** dropdown includes the list of private forks the user is a member
+of as at least a Developer and merge requests are enabled.
+
+Whenever the **Branch name** and **Source (branch or tag)** fields change, the
+availability of the target or source branch will be checked. Both branches should
+be available in the private fork selected.
+
+By clicking the **Create confidential merge request** button, GitLab will create
+the branch and merge request in the private fork. When you choose
+**Create branch**, GitLab will only create the branch.
+
+Once the branch is created in the private fork, developers can now push code to
+that branch to fix the confidential issue.

-
-CAUTION: **Caution:**
-This is a private email address, generated just for you. **Keep it to yourself**,
-as anyone who gets ahold of it can create issues or merge requests as if they
-were you. If the address is compromised, or you'd like it to be regenerated for
-any reason, click **Email a new issue to this project** again and click the reset link.
-
-Sending an email to this address will create a new issue on your behalf for
-this project, where:
-
-- The email subject becomes the issue title.
-- The email body becomes the issue description.
-- [Markdown](../../markdown.md) and [quick actions](../quick_actions.md) are supported.
-
-NOTE: **Note:**
-In GitLab 11.7, we updated the format of the generated email address.
-However the older format is still supported, allowing existing aliases
-or contacts to continue working._

-## New issue via Service Desk **[PREMIUM]**
-
-Enable [Service Desk](../service_desk.md) to your project and offer email support.
-By doing so, when your customer sends a new email, a new issue can be created in

+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/660) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 12.2.
+
+CAUTION: **Warning:**
+This an **alpha** feature and is subject to change at any time without
+prior notice.
+
+## Overview
+
+Design Management allows you to upload design assets (wireframes, mockups, etc.)
+to GitLab issues and keep them stored in one single place, accessed by the Design
+Management's page within an issue, giving product designers, product managers, and engineers a
+way to collaborate on designs over one single source of truth.
+
+You can easily share mock-ups of designs with your team, or visual regressions can be easily
+viewed and addressed.
+
+<i class="fa fa-youtube-play youtube" aria-hidden="true"></i>
+For an overview, see the video [Design Management (GitLab 12.2)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCMtCqdK_aM).
+
+## Requirements
+
+Design Management requires
+[Large File Storage (LFS)](../../../workflow/lfs/manage_large_binaries_with_git_lfs.md)
+to be enabled:
+
+- For GitLab.com, LFS is already enabled.
+- For self-managed instances, a GitLab administrator must have
+ [enabled LFS globally](../../../workflow/lfs/lfs_administration.md).
+- For both GitLab.com and self-managed instances: LFS must be enabled for the project itself.
+ If enabled globally, LFS will be enabled by default to all projects. To enable LFS on the
+ project level, navigate to your project's **Settings > General**, expand **Visibility, project features, permissions**
+ and enable **Git Large File Storage**.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Files uploaded must have a file extension of either `png`, `jpg`, `jpeg`, `gif`, `bmp`, `tiff` or `ico`.
+ The [`svg` extension is not yet supported](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/12771).
+- Design uploads are limited to 10 files at a time.
+- [Designs cannot yet be deleted](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/11089).
+- Design Management is
+ [not yet supported in the project export](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/11090).
+- Design Management data
+ [isn't deleted when a project is destroyed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/13429) yet.
+- Design Management data [won't be moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/13426)
+ when an issue is moved, nor [deleted](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/13427)
+ when an issue is deleted.
+- Design Management
+ [isn't supported by Geo](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/1633) yet.
+
+## The Design Management page
+
+Navigate to the **Design Management** page from any issue by clicking the **Designs** tab:
+
+![Designs tab](img/design_management_v12_2.png)
+
+## Adding designs
+
+To upload design images, click the **Upload Designs** button and select images to upload.
+
+Designs with the same filename as an existing uploaded design will create a new version
+of the design, and will replace the previous version.
+
+## Viewing designs
+
+Images on the Design Management page can be enlarged by clicking on them.
+
+## Adding annotations to designs
+
+When a design image is displayed, you can add annotations to it by clicking on
+the image. A badge is added to the image and a form is displayed to start a new
+discussion. For example:
+
+![Starting a new discussion on design](img/adding_note_to_design_1.png)
+
+When submitted, the form saves a badge linked to the discussion on the image. Different discussions have different badge numbers. For example:

+# Managing Issues
+
+[GitLab Issues](index.md) are the fundamental medium for collaborating on ideas and
+planning work in GitLab. [Creating](#create-a-new-issue), [moving](#moving-issues),
+[closing](#closing-issues), and [deleting](#deleting-issues) are key actions that
+you can do with issues.
+
+## Create a new Issue
+
+When you create a new issue, you'll be prompted to fill in the [data and fields of the issue](issue_data_and_actions.md#parts-of-an-issue), as illustrated below. If you know
+the values you want to assign to an issue, you can use the [Quick actions](../quick_actions.md)
+feature to input values, instead of selecting them from lists.
+
+![New issue from the issues list](img/new_issue.png)
+
+### Accessing the new Issue form
+
+There are many ways to get to the new Issue form from within a project:
+
+- Navigate to your **Project's Dashboard** > **Issues** > **New Issue**:
+
+ ![New issue from the issue list view](img/new_issue_from_tracker_list.png)
+
+- From an **opened issue** in your project, click **New Issue** to create a new
+ issue in the same project:
+
+ ![New issue from an open issue](img/new_issue_from_open_issue.png)
+
+- From your **Project's Dashboard**, click the plus sign (**+**) to open a dropdown
+ menu with a few options. Select **New Issue** to create an issue in that project:
+
+ ![New issue from a project's dashboard](img/new_issue_from_projects_dashboard.png)
+
+- From an **Issue Board**, create a new issue by clicking on the plus sign (**+**) at the top of a list.
+ It opens a new issue for that project, pre-labeled with its respective list.
+
+ ![From the issue board](img/new_issue_from_issue_board.png)
+
+### New issue from the group-level Issue Tracker
+
+Go to the Group dashboard and click "Issues" in the sidebar to visit the Issue Tracker
+for all projects in your Group. Select the project you'd like to add an issue for
+using the dropdown button at the top-right of the page.
+
+![Select project to create issue](img/select_project_from_group_level_issue_tracker.png)
+
+We'll keep track of the project you selected most recently, and use it as the default
+for your next visit. This should save you a lot of time and clicks, if you mostly
+create issues for the same project.
+
+![Create issue from group-level issue tracker](img/create_issue_from_group_level_issue_tracker.png)
+
+### New issue via Service Desk **(PREMIUM)**
+
+Enable [Service Desk](../service_desk.md) for your project and offer email support.
+By doing so, when your customer sends a new email, a new issue can be created in
+the appropriate project and followed up from there.
+
+### New issue via email
+
+A link to **Email a new issue to this project** is displayed at the bottom of a project's
+**Issues List** page, if your GitLab instance has [incoming email](../../../administration/incoming_email.md)
+configured.
+
+![Bottom of a project issues page](img/new_issue_from_email.png)
+
+When you click this link, an email address is generated and displayed, which should be used
+by **you only**, to create issues in this project. You can save this address as a
+contact in your email client for easy acceess.
+
+CAUTION: **Caution:**
+This is a private email address, generated just for you. **Keep it to yourself**,
+as anyone who knows it can create issues or merge requests as if they
+were you. If the address is compromised, or you'd like it to be regenerated for
+any reason, click **Email a new issue to this project** again and click the reset link.
+
+Sending an email to this address will create a new issue in your name for
+this project, where:
+
+- The email subject becomes the issue title.
+- The email body becomes the issue description.
+- [Markdown](../../markdown.md) and [quick actions](../quick_actions.md) are supported.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+In GitLab 11.7, we updated the format of the generated email address. However the
+older format is still supported, allowing existing aliases or contacts to continue working.
+
+### New issue via URL with prefilled fields
+
+You can link directly to the new issue page for a given project, with prefilled
+field values using query string parameters in a URL. This is useful for embedding
+a URL in an external HTML page, and also certain scenarios where you want the user to
+create an issue with certain fields prefilled.
+
+The title, description, and description template fields can be prefilled using
+this method. You cannot pre-fill both the description and description template fields
+in the same URL (since a description template also populates the description field).
+
+Follow these examples to form your new issue URL with prefilled fields.
+
+- For a new issue in the GitLab Community Edition project with a pre-filled title
+ and a pre-filled description, the URL would be `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/new?issue[title]=Validate%20new%20concept&issue[description]=Research%20idea`
+- For a new issue in the GitLab Community Edition project with a pre-filled title
+ and a pre-filled description template, the URL would be `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/new?issue[title]=Validate%20new%20concept&issuable_template=Research%20proposal`
+
+## Moving Issues
+
+Moving an issue will copy it to a new location (project), and close it in the old project,
+but it will not be deleted. There will also be a system note added to both issues
+indicating where it came from and went to.
+
+The "Move issue" button is at the bottom of the right-sidebar when viewing the issue.
+
+![move issue - button](img/sidebar_move_issue.png)
+
+### Moving Issues in Bulk
+
+If you have advanced technical skills you can also bulk move all the issues from one project to another in the rails console. The below script will move all the issues from one project to another that are not in status **closed**.
+
+To access rails console run `sudo gitlab-rails console` on the GitLab server and run the below script. Please be sure to change **project**, **admin_user** and **target_project** to your values. We do also recommend [creating a backup](../../../raketasks/backup_restore.md#creating-a-backup-of-the-gitlab-system) before attempting any changes in the console.
+
+```ruby
+project = Project.find_by_full_path('full path of the project where issues are moved from')
+issues = project.issues
+admin_user = User.find_by_username('username of admin user') # make sure user has permissions to move the issues
+target_project = Project.find_by_full_path('full path of target project where issues moved to')
+
+issues.each do |issue|
+ if issue.state != "closed" && issue.moved_to.nil?
+ Issues::MoveService.new(project, admin_user).execute(issue, target_project)
+ else
+ puts "issue with id: #{issue.id} and title: #{issue.title} was not moved"
+ end
+end; nil
+```
+
+## Closing Issues
+
+When you decide that an issue is resolved, or no longer needed, you can close the issue
+using the close button:
+
+![close issue - button](img/button_close_issue.png)
+
+You can also close an issue from the [Issue Boards](../issue_board.md) by dragging an issue card
+from its list and dropping it into the **Closed** list.
+
+![close issue from the Issue Board](img/close_issue_from_board.gif)
+
+### Closing issues automatically
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+For performance reasons, automatic issue closing is disabled for the very first
+push from an existing repository.
+
+When a commit or merge request resolves one or more issues, it is possible to have
+these issues closed automatically when the commit or merge request reaches the project's
+default branch.
+
+If a commit message or merge request description contains text matching a [defined pattern](#default-closing-pattern),
+all issues referenced in the matched text will be closed. This happens when the commit
+is pushed to a project's [**default** branch](../repository/branches/index.md#default-branch),
+or when a commit or merge request is merged into it.
+
+For example, if `Closes #4, #6, Related to #5` is included in a Merge Request
+description, issues `#4` and `#6` will close automatically when the MR is merged, but not `#5`.
+Using `Related to` flags `#5` as a [related issue](related_issues.md),
+but it will not close automatically.
+
+![merge request closing issue when merged](img/merge_request_closes_issue.png)
+
+If the issue is in a different repository than the MR, add the full URL for the issue(s):
+
+```md
+Closes #4, #6, and https://gitlab.com/<username>/<projectname>/issues/<xxx>
+```
+
+#### Default closing pattern
+
+When not specified, the default issue closing pattern as shown below will be used:
+
+```bash
+((?:[Cc]los(?:e[sd]?|ing)|[Ff]ix(?:e[sd]|ing)?|[Rr]esolv(?:e[sd]?|ing)|[Ii]mplement(?:s|ed|ing)?)(:?) +(?:(?:issues? +)?%{issue_ref}(?:(?:, *| +and +)?)|([A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+-\d+))+)
+```
+
+This translates to the following keywords:
+
+- Close, Closes, Closed, Closing, close, closes, closed, closing
+- Fix, Fixes, Fixed, Fixing, fix, fixes, fixed, fixing
+- Resolve, Resolves, Resolved, Resolving, resolve, resolves, resolved, resolving
+- Implement, Implements, Implemented, Implementing, implement, implements, implemented, implementing
+
+Note that `%{issue_ref}` is a complex regular expression defined inside GitLab's
+source code that can match references to:
+
+- A local issue (`#123`).
+- A cross-project issue (`group/project#123`).
+- A link to an issue (`https://gitlab.example.com/group/project/issues/123`).
+
+For example the following commit message:
+
+```
+Awesome commit message
+
+Fix #20, Fixes #21 and Closes group/otherproject#22.
+This commit is also related to #17 and fixes #18, #19
+and https://gitlab.example.com/group/otherproject/issues/23.
+```
+
+will close `#18`, `#19`, `#20`, and `#21` in the project this commit is pushed to,
+as well as `#22` and `#23` in group/otherproject. `#17` won't be closed as it does
+not match the pattern. It works with multi-line commit messages as well as one-liners
+when used from the command line with `git commit -m`.
+
+#### Customizing the issue closing pattern **(CORE ONLY)**
+
+In order to change the default issue closing pattern, GitLab administrators must edit the
+[`gitlab.rb` or `gitlab.yml` file](../../../administration/issue_closing_pattern.md)
+of your installation.
+
+## Deleting Issues
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/2982) in GitLab 8.6
+
+Users with [project owner permission](../../permissions.md) can delete an issue by

+# Sorting and Ordering Issue Lists
+
+You can sort a list of issues several ways, including by issue creation date, milestone due date,
+etc. The available sorting options can change based on the context of the list.
+For sorting by issue priority, see [Label Priority](../labels.md#label-priority).
+
+In group and project issue lists, it is also possible to order issues manually,
+similar to [issue boards](../issue_board.md#issue-ordering-in-a-list).
+
+## Manual sorting
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/62178) in GitLab 12.2.
+
+When you select **Manual** sorting, you can change
+the order by dragging and dropping the issues. The changed order will persist. Everyone who visits the same list will see the reordered list, with some exceptions.
+
+Each issue is assigned a relative order value, representing its relative
+order with respect to the other issues in the list. When you drag-and-drop reorder
+an issue, its relative order value changes accordingly.
+
+In addition, any time that issue appears in a manually sorted list,
+the updated relative order value will be used for the ordering. This means that
+if issue `A` is drag-and-drop reordered to be above issue `B` by any user in
+a given list inside your GitLab instance, any time those two issues are subsequently
+loaded in any list in the same instance (could be a different project issue list or a
+different group issue list, for example), that ordering will be maintained.
+
+This ordering also affects [issue boards](../issue_board.md#issue-ordering-in-a-list).
+Changing the order in an issue list changes the ordering in an issue board,
+and vice versa.

+# Cross-project Merge Request dependencies **(PREMIUM)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/9688) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 12.2.
+
+Cross-project merge request dependencies allows a required order of merging
+between merge requests in different projects to be expressed. If a
+merge request "depends on" another, then it cannot be merged until its
+dependency is itself merged.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+Merge requests dependencies are a **PREMIUM** feature, but this restriction is
+only enforced for the dependent merge request. A merge request in a **CORE** or
+**STARTER** project can be a dependency of a **PREMIUM** merge request, but not
+vice-versa.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+A merge request can only depend on merge requests in a different project. Two
+merge requests in the same project cannot depend on each other.
+
+## Use cases
+
+- Ensure changes to a library are merged before changes to a project that
+ imports the library.
+- Prevent a documentation-only merge request from being merged before the merge request
+ implementing the feature to be documented.
+- Require an merge request updating a permissions matrix to be merged before merging an
+ merge request from someone who hasn't yet been granted permissions.
+
+It is common for a single logical change to span several merge requests, spread
+out across multiple projects, and the order in which they are merged can be
+significant.
+
+For example, given a project `mycorp/awesome-project` that imports a library
+at `myfriend/awesome-lib`, adding a feature in `awesome-project` may **also**
+require changes to `awesome-lib`, and so necessitate two merge requests. Merging
+the `awesome-project` merge request before the `awesome-lib` one would
+break the `master`branch.
+
+The `awesome-project` merge request could be [marked as
+WIP](work_in_progress_merge_requests.md),
+and the reason for the WIP stated included in the comments. However, this
+requires the state of the `awesome-lib` merge request to be manually
+tracked, and doesn't scale well if the `awesome-project` merge request
+depends on changes to **several** other projects.
+
+By making the `awesome-project` merge request depend on the
+`awesome-lib` merge request instead, this relationship is
+automatically tracked by GitLab, and the WIP state can be used to
+communicate the readiness of the code in each individual merge request
+instead.
+
+## Configuration
+
+To continue the above example, you can configure a dependency when creating the
+new merge request in `awesome-project` (or by editing it, if it already exists).
+The dependency needs to be configured on the **dependent** merge
+request. There is a "Cross-project dependencies" section in the form:
+
+![Cross-project dependencies form control](img/cross_project_dependencies_edit_v12_2.png)
+
+Anyone who can edit a merge request can change the list of dependencies.
+
+New dependencies can be added by reference, or by URL. To remove a dependency,
+press the **X** by its reference.
+
+As dependencies are specified across projects, it's possible that someone else
+has added a dependency for a merge request in a project you don't have access to.
+These are shown as a simple count:
+
+![Cross-project dependencies form control with inaccessible merge requests](img/cross_project_dependencies_edit_inaccessible_v12_2.png)
+
+If necessary, you can remove all the dependencies like this by pressing the
+**X**, just as you would for a single, visible dependency.
+
+Once you're finished, press the **Save changes** button to submit the request,
+or **Cancel** to return without making any changes.
+
+The list of configured dependencies, and the status of each one, is shown in the
+merge request widget:
+
+![Cross-project dependencies in merge request widget](img/cross_project_dependencies_view_v12_2.png)
+
+Until all dependencies have, themselves, been merged, the **Merge**
+button will be disabled for the dependent merge request. In
+particular, note that **closed merge requests** still prevent their
+dependents from being merged - it is impossible to automatically
+determine whether the dependency expressed by a closed merge request
+has been satisfied in some other way or not.
+
+If a merge request has been closed **and** the dependency is no longer relevant,
+it must be removed as a dependency, following the instructions above, before
+merge.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- API support: [gitlab-ee#12551](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/12551)
+- Dependencies are not preserved across project export/import: [gitlab-ee#12549](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/12549)
+- Complex merge order dependencies are not supported: [gitlab-ee#11393](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/11393)
+
+The last item merits a little more explanation. Dependencies between merge
+requests can be described as a graph of relationships. The simplest possible
+graph has one merge request that depends upon another:
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR;
+ myfriend/awesome-lib!10-->mycorp/awesome-project!100;
+```
+
+A more complex (and still supported) graph might have one merge request that
+directly depends upon several others:
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR;
+ myfriend/awesome-lib!10-->mycorp/awesome-project!100;
+ herfriend/another-lib!1-->mycorp/awesome-project!100;
+```
+
+Several different merge requests can also directly depend upon the
+same merge request:
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR;
+ herfriend/another-lib!1-->myfriend/awesome-lib!10;
+ herfriend/another-lib!1-->mycorp/awesome-project!100;
+```
+
+What is **not** supported is a "deep", or "nested" graph of dependencies, e.g.:
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR;
+ herfriend/another-lib!1-->myfriend/awesome-lib!10;
+ myfriend/awesome-lib!10-->mycorp/awesome-project!100;
+```
+
+In this example, `myfriend/awesome-lib!10` depends on `herfriend/another-lib!1`,
+and is itself a dependent of `mycorp/awesome-project!100`. This means that
+`myfriend/awesome-lib!10` becomes an **indirect** dependency of
+`mycorp/awesome-project!100`, which is not yet supported.

+# DNS records overview
+
+_Read this document for a brief overview of DNS records in the scope
+of GitLab Pages, for beginners in web development._
+
+A Domain Name System (DNS) web service routes visitors to websites
+by translating domain names (such as `www.example.com`) into the
+numeric IP addresses (such as `192.0.2.1`) that computers use to
+connect to each other.
+
+A DNS record is created to point a (sub)domain to a certain location,
+which can be an IP address or another domain. In case you want to use
+GitLab Pages with your own (sub)domain, you need to access your domain's
+registrar control panel to add a DNS record pointing it back to your
+GitLab Pages site.
+
+Note that **how to** add DNS records depends on which server your domain
+is hosted on. Every control panel has its own place to do it. If you are
+not an admin of your domain, and don't have access to your registrar,
+you'll need to ask for the technical support of your hosting service
+to do it for you.
+
+To help you out, we've gathered some instructions on how to do that
+for the most popular hosting services:
+

+- [Bluehost](https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/559)

+- [Microsoft](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727018.aspx)
+
+If your hosting service is not listed above, you can just try to
+search the web for `how to add dns record on <my hosting service>`.
+
+## `A` record
+
+A DNS A record maps a host to an IPv4 IP address.
+It points a root domain as `example.com` to the host's IP address as
+`192.192.192.192`.
+
+Example:
+
+- `example.com` => `A` => `192.192.192.192`
+
+## CNAME record
+
+CNAME records define an alias for canonical name for your server (one defined
+by an A record). It points a subdomain to another domain.
+
+Example:
+
+- `www` => `CNAME` => `example.com`
+
+This way, visitors visiting `www.example.com` will be redirected to
+`example.com`.
+
+## MX record
+
+MX records are used to define the mail exchanges that are used for the domain.
+This helps email messages arrive at your mail server correctly.
+
+Example:
+
+- `MX` => `mail.example.com`
+
+Then you can register emails for `users@mail.example.com`.
+
+## TXT record
+
+A `TXT` record can associate arbitrary text with a host or other name. A common
+use is for site verification.
+
+Example:
+
+- `example.com`=> TXT => `"google-site-verification=6P08Ow5E-8Q0m6vQ7FMAqAYIDprkVV8fUf_7hZ4Qvc8"`
+
+This way, you can verify the ownership for that domain name.
+
+## All combined
+
+You can have one DNS record or more than one combined:
+
+- `example.com` => `A` => `192.192.192.192`
+- `www` => `CNAME` => `example.com`
+- `MX` => `mail.example.com`
+- `example.com`=> TXT => `"google-site-verification=6P08Ow5E-8Q0m6vQ7FMAqAYIDprkVV8fUf_7hZ4Qvc8"` \ No newline at end of file

+# Custom domains and SSL/TLS Certificates
+
+Setting up GitLab Pages with custom domains, and adding SSL/TLS certificates to them, are optional features of GitLab Pages.
+
+To use one or more custom domain names with your Pages site, you can:
+
+- Add a [custom **root domain** or a **subdomain**](#set-up-pages-with-a-custom-domain).
+- Add [SSL/TLS certification](#adding-an-ssltls-certificate-to-pages).
+
+## Set up Pages with a custom domain
+
+To set up Pages with a custom domain name, read the requirements
+and steps below.
+
+### Requirements
+
+- A GitLab Pages website up and running, served under the default Pages domain
+ (`*.gitlab.io`, for GitLab.com).
+- A custom domain name `example.com` or subdomain `subdomain.example.com`.
+- Access to your domain's server control panel to set up DNS records:
+ - A DNS A or CNAME record poiting your domain to GitLab Pages server.
+ - A DNS TXT record to verify your domain's ownership.
+
+### Steps
+
+Follow the steps below to add your custom domain to Pages. See also
+this document for an [overview on DNS records](dns_concepts.md).
+
+#### 1. Add a custom domain to Pages
+
+Navigate to your project's **Setting > Pages** and click **+ New domain**
+to add your custom domain to GitLab Pages. You can choose whether to:
+
+- Add an [SSL/TLS certificate](#adding-an-ssltls-certificate-to-pages).
+- Leave it blank (it can be added later).
+

+
+![Get the verification code](img/get_domain_verification_code_v12_0.png)
+
+#### 3. Set up DNS records for Pages
+
+Read this document for an [overview of DNS records for Pages](dns_concepts.md).
+If you're familiar with the subject, follow the instructions below
+according to the type of domain you want to use with your Pages site:
+
+- [For root domains](#for-root-domains), `example.com`.
+- [For subdomains](#for-subdomains), `subdomain.example.com`.
+- [For both](#for-both-root-and-subdomains).
+
+##### For root domains
+
+Root domains (`example.com`) require:
+
+- A [DNS A record](dns_concepts.md#a-record) pointing your domain to the Pages server.
+- A [TXT record](dns_concepts.md#txt-record) to verify your domain's ownership.
+
+| From | DNS Record | To |
+| ---- | ---------- | -- |
+| example.com | A | 35.185.44.232 |
+| _gitlab-pages-verification-code.example.com | TXT | gitlab-pages-verification-code=00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff |
+
+For projects on GitLab.com, this IP is `35.185.44.232`.
+For projects living in other GitLab instances (CE or EE), please contact
+your sysadmin asking for this information (which IP address is Pages
+server running on your instance).
+
+![DNS A record pointing to GitLab.com Pages server](img/dns_add_new_a_record_example_updated_2018.png)
+
+CAUTION: **Caution:**
+Note that if you use your root domain for your GitLab Pages website
+**only**, and if your domain registrar supports this feature, you can
+add a DNS apex `CNAME` record instead of an `A` record. The main
+advantage of doing so is that when GitLab Pages IP on GitLab.com
+changes for whatever reason, you don't need to update your `A` record.
+There may be a few exceptions, but **this method is not recommended**
+as it most likely won't work if you set an [`MX` record](dns_concepts.md#mx-record) for your root domain.
+
+##### For subdomains
+
+Subdomains (`subdomain.example.com`) require:
+
+- A DNS [CNAME record](dns_concepts.md#cname-record) record pointing your subdomain to the Pages server.
+- A DNS [TXT record](dns_concepts.md#txt-record) to verify your domain's ownership.
+
+| From | DNS Record | To |
+| ---- | ---------- | -- |
+| subdomain.example.com | CNAME | namespace.gitlab.io |
+| _gitlab-pages-verification-code.subdomain.example.com | TXT | gitlab-pages-verification-code=00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff |
+
+Note that, whether it's a user or a project website, the `CNAME`
+should point to your Pages domain (`namespace.gitlab.io`),
+without any `/project-name`.
+
+![DNS CNAME record pointing to GitLab.com project](img/dns_cname_record_example.png)
+
+##### For both root and subdomains
+
+There are a few cases where you need point both subdomain and root
+domain to the same website, for instance, `example.com` and `www.example.com`.
+
+They require:
+
+- A DNS A record for the domain.
+- A DNS CNAME record for the subdomain.
+- A DNS TXT record for each.
+
+| From | DNS Record | To |
+| ---- | ---------- | -- |
+| example.com | A | 35.185.44.232 |
+| _gitlab-pages-verification-code.example.com | TXT | gitlab-pages-verification-code=00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff |
+|---+---|
+| www.example.com | CNAME | namespace.gitlab.io |
+| _gitlab-pages-verification-code.www.example.com | TXT | gitlab-pages-verification-code=00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff |
+
+If you're using CloudFlare, check
+[Redirecting `www.domain.com` to `domain.com` with Cloudflare](#redirecting-wwwdomaincom-to-domaincom-with-cloudflare).
+
+> **Notes**:
+>
+> - **Do not** use a CNAME record if you want to point your
+ `domain.com` to your GitLab Pages site. Use an `A` record instead.
+> - **Do not** add any special chars after the default Pages
+ domain. E.g., don't point `subdomain.domain.com` to
+ or `namespace.gitlab.io/`. Some domain hosting providers may request a trailling dot (`namespace.gitlab.io.`), though.
+> - GitLab Pages IP on GitLab.com [was changed](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/03/06/we-are-changing-the-ip-of-gitlab-pages-on-gitlab-com/) in 2017.
+> - GitLab Pages IP on GitLab.com [has changed](https://about.gitlab.com/2018/07/19/gcp-move-update/#gitlab-pages-and-custom-domains)
+ from `52.167.214.135` to `35.185.44.232` in 2018.
+
+#### 4. Verify the domain's ownership
+
+Once you have added all the DNS records:
+
+1. Go back at your project's **Settings > Pages**.
+1. Locate your domain name and click **Details**.
+1. Click the **Retry verification** button to activate your new domain.
+
+![Verify your domain](img/retry_domain_verification_v12_0.png)
+
+As soon as your domain becomes active, your website will be available
+through your domain name.
+
+CAUTION: **Caution:**
+Considering GitLab instances with domain verification enabled,
+if the domain cannot be verified for 7 days, it will be removed
+from the GitLab project.
+
+> **Notes:**
+>
+> - Domain verification is **required for GitLab.com users**;
+ for GitLab self-managed instances, your GitLab administrator has the option
+ to [disabled custom domain verification](../../../../administration/pages/index.md#custom-domain-verification).
+> - [DNS propagation may take some time (up to 24h)](http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/domain-names/dns-nameserver-changes/domain-names-dns-changes),
+ although it's usually a matter of minutes to complete. Until it does, verification
+ will fail and attempts to visit your domain will respond with a 404.
+> - Once your domain has been verified, leave the verification record
+ in place: your domain will be periodically reverified, and may be
+ disabled if the record is removed.
+
+### Adding more domain aliases
+
+You can add more than one alias (custom domains and subdomains) to the same project.
+An alias can be understood as having many doors leading to the same room.
+
+All the aliases you've set to your site will be listed on **Setting > Pages**.
+From that page, you can view, add, and remove them.
+
+### Redirecting `www.domain.com` to `domain.com` with Cloudflare
+
+If you use Cloudflare, you can redirect `www` to `domain.com`
+without adding both `www.domain.com` and `domain.com` to GitLab.
+
+To do so, you can use Cloudflare's page rules associated to a
+CNAME record to redirect `www.domain.com` to `domain.com`. You
+can use the following setup:
+
+1. In Cloudflare, create a DNS `A` record pointing `domain.com` to `35.185.44.232`.
+1. In GitLab, add the domain to GitLab Pages and get the verification code.
+1. In Cloudflare, create a DNS `TXT` record to verify your domain.
+1. In GitLab, verify your domain.
+1. In Cloudflare, create a DNS `CNAME` record pointing `www` to `domain.com`.
+1. In Cloudflare, add a Page Rule pointing `www.domain.com` to `domain.com`:
+ - Navigate to your domain's dashboard and click **Page Rules**
+ on the top nav.
+ - Click **Create Page Rule**.
+ - Enter the domain `www.domain.com` and click **+ Add a Setting**.
+ - From the dropdown menu, choose **Forwarding URL**, then select the
+ status code **301 - Permanent Redirect**.
+ - Enter the destination URL `https://domain.com`.
+
+## Adding an SSL/TLS certificate to Pages
+
+Read this document for an [overview on SSL/TLS certification](ssl_tls_concepts.md).
+
+To secure your custom domain with GitLab Pages you can opt by:
+
+- Using the [Let's Encrypt integration with GitLab Pages](lets_encrypt_integration.md),
+ which automatically obtains and renews SSL certificates
+ for your Pages domains.
+- Manually adding SSL/TLS certificates to GitLab Pages websites
+ by following the steps below.
+
+### Requirements
+
+- A GitLab Pages website up and running accessible via a custom domain.
+- **A PEM certificate**: it is the certificate generated by the CA,
+ which needs to be added to the field **Certificate (PEM)**.
+- **An [intermediate certificate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_certificate_authority)**: (aka "root certificate"), it is
+ the part of the encryption keychain that identifies the CA.
+ Usually it's combined with the PEM certificate, but there are
+ some cases in which you need to add them manually.
+ [CloudFlare certs](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/02/07/setting-up-gitlab-pages-with-cloudflare-certificates/)
+ are one of these cases.
+- **A private key**, it's an encrypted key which validates
+ your PEM against your domain.
+
+### Steps
+
+- To add the certificate at the time you add a new domain, go to your
+ project's **Settings > Pages > New Domain**, add the domain name and the certificate.
+- To add the certificate to a domain previously added, go to your
+ project's **Settings > Pages**, locate your domain name, click **Details** and **Edit** to add the certificate.
+
+![Pages project - adding certificates](img/add_certificate_to_pages.png)
+
+1. Add the PEM certificate to its corresponding field.
+1. If your certificate is missing its intermediate, copy
+ and paste the root certificate (usually available from your CA website)
+ and paste it in the [same field as your PEM certificate](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/02/07/setting-up-gitlab-pages-with-cloudflare-certificates/),
+ just jumping a line between them.
+1. Copy your private key and paste it in the last field.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+**Do not** open certificates or encryption keys in
+regular text editors. Always use code editors (such as
+Sublime Text, Atom, Dreamweaver, Brackets, etc).
+
+## Force HTTPS for GitLab Pages websites
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/28857) in GitLab 10.7.
+
+To make your website's visitors even more secure, you can choose to
+force HTTPS for GitLab Pages. By doing so, all attempts to visit your
+website via HTTP will be automatically redirected to HTTPS via 301.
+
+It works with both GitLab's default domain and with your custom
+domain (as long as you've set a valid certificate for it).
+
+To enable this setting:
+
+1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > Pages**.
+1. Tick the checkbox **Force HTTPS (requires valid certificates)**.
+
+<!-- ## Troubleshooting
+

+one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
+important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.

+
+# GitLab Pages integration with Let's Encrypt
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/28996) in GitLab 12.1.
+
+The GitLab Pages integration with Let's Encrypt (LE) allows you
+to use LE certificates for your Pages website with custom domains
+without the hassle of having to issue and update them yourself;
+GitLab does it for you, out-of-the-box.
+
+[Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org) is a free, automated, and
+open source Certificate Authority.
+
+CAUTION: **Caution:**
+This feature is in **beta** and might present bugs and UX issues
+such as [#64870](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/64870).
+See all the related issues linked from this [issue's description](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/28996)
+for more information.
+
+## Requirements
+
+Before you can enable automatic provisioning of a SSL certificate for your domain, make sure you have:
+
+- Created a [project](../getting_started_part_two.md) in GitLab
+ containing your website's source code.
+- Acquired a domain (`example.com`) and added a [DNS entry](index.md)
+ pointing it to your Pages website.
+- [Added your domain to your Pages project](index.md#1-add-a-custom-domain-to-pages)
+ and verified your ownership.
+- Have your website up and running, accessible through your custom domain.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+GitLab's Let's Encrypt integration is enabled and available on GitLab.com.
+For **self-managed** GitLab instances, make sure your administrator has
+[enabled it](../../../../administration/pages/index.md#lets-encrypt-integration).
+
+## Enabling Let's Encrypt integration for your custom domain
+
+Once you've met the requirements, to enable Let's Encrypt integration:
+
+1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > Pages**.
+1. Find your domain and click **Details**.
+1. Click **Edit** in the top-right corner.
+1. Enable Let's Encrypt integration by switching **Automatic certificate management using Let's Encrypt**:
+
+ ![Enable Let's Encrypt](img/lets_encrypt_integration_v12_1.png)
+
+1. Click **Save changes**.
+
+Once enabled, GitLab will obtain a LE certificate and add it to the
+associated Pages domain. It will be also renewed automatically by GitLab.
+
+> **Notes:**
+>
+> - Issuing the certificate and updating Pages configuration
+> **can take up to an hour**.
+> - If you already have SSL certificate in domain settings it
+> will continue to work until it will be replaced by Let's Encrypt's certificate.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Error "Certificate misses intermediates"
+
+If you get an error **Certificate misses intermediates** while trying to enable Let's Encrypt integration for your domain, follow the steps below:
+
+1. Go to your project's **Settings > Pages**.
+1. Turn off **Force HTTPS** if it's turned on.
+1. Click **Details** on your domain.
+1. Click the **Edit** button in the top right corner of domain details page.
+1. Enable Let's Encrypt integration.
+1. Click **Save**.
+1. Go to your project's **Settings > Pages**.
+1. Turn on **Force HTTPS**.

+
+# SSL/TLS Certificates
+
+_Read this document for a brief overview of SSL/TLS certificates in
+the scope of GitLab Pages, for beginners in web development._
+
+Every GitLab Pages project on GitLab.com will be available under
+HTTPS for the default Pages domain (`*.gitlab.io`). Once you set
+up your Pages project with your custom (sub)domain, if you want
+it secured by HTTPS, you will have to issue a certificate for that
+(sub)domain and install it on your project.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+Certificates are NOT required to add to your custom
+(sub)domain on your GitLab Pages project, though they are
+highly recommendable.
+
+Let's start with an introduction to the importance of HTTPS.
+
+## Why should I care about HTTPS?
+
+This might be your first question. If our sites are hosted by GitLab Pages,
+they are static, hence we are not dealing with server-side scripts
+nor credit card transactions, then why do we need secure connections?
+
+Back in the 1990s, where HTTPS came out, [SSL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#SSL_1.0.2C_2.0_and_3.0) was considered a "special"
+security measure, necessary just for big companies, like banks and shoppings sites
+with financial transactions.
+Now we have a different picture. [According to Josh Aas](https://letsencrypt.org/2015/10/29/phishing-and-malware.html), Executive Director at [ISRG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Security_Research_Group):
+
+> _We’ve since come to realize that HTTPS is important for almost all websites. It’s important for any website that allows people to log in with a password, any website that [tracks its users](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2013/12/10/nsa-uses-google-cookies-to-pinpoint-targets-for-hacking/) in any way, any website that [doesn’t want its content altered](http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/09/why-comcasts-javascript-ad-injections-threaten-security-net-neutrality/), and for any site that offers content people might not want others to know they are consuming. We’ve also learned that any site not secured by HTTPS [can be used to attack other sites](https://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/04/dont-be-fodder-for-chinas-great-cannon/)._
+
+Therefore, the reason why certificates are so important is that they encrypt
+the connection between the **client** (you, me, your visitors)
+and the **server** (where you site lives), through a keychain of
+authentications and validations.
+
+How about taking Josh's advice and protecting our sites too? We will be
+well supported, and we'll contribute to a safer internet.
+
+## Organizations supporting HTTPS
+
+There is a huge movement in favor of securing all the web. W3C fully
+[supports the cause](https://w3ctag.github.io/web-https/) and explains very well
+the reasons for that. Richard Barnes, a writer for Mozilla Security Blog,
+suggested that [Firefox would deprecate HTTP](https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2015/04/30/deprecating-non-secure-http/),
+and would no longer accept unsecured connections. Recently, Mozilla published a
+[communication](https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2016/03/29/march-2016-ca-communication/)
+reiterating the importance of HTTPS.
+
+## Issuing Certificates
+
+GitLab Pages accepts certificates provided in the [PEM](https://support.quovadisglobal.com/kb/a37/what-is-pem-format.aspx) format, issued by
+[Certificate Authorities (CAs)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority) or as
+[self-signed certificates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-signed_certificate). Note that [self-signed certificates are typically not used](https://securingtomorrow.mcafee.com/other-blogs/mcafee-labs/self-signed-certificates-secure-so-why-ban/)
+for public websites for security reasons and to ensure that browsers trust your site's certificate.
+
+There are various kinds of certificates, each one
+with a certain security level. A static personal website will
+not require the same security level as an online banking web app,
+for instance.
+
+There are some certificate authorities that
+offer free certificates, aiming to make the internet more secure
+to everyone. The most popular is [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/),
+which issues certificates trusted by most of browsers, it's open
+source, and free to use. See [GitLab Pages integration with Let's Encrypt](../custom_domains_ssl_tls_certification/lets_encrypt_integration.md) to enable HTTPS on your custom domain.
+
+Similarly popular are [certificates issued by CloudFlare](https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/),
+which also offers a [free CDN service](https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflares-free-cdn-and-you/).
+Their certs are valid up to 15 years. See the tutorial on
+[how to add a CloudFlare Certificate to your GitLab Pages website](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/02/07/setting-up-gitlab-pages-with-cloudflare-certificates/).

-# GitLab Pages custom domains and SSL/TLS Certificates
-
-Setting up GitLab Pages with custom domains, and adding SSL/TLS certificates to them, are optional features of GitLab Pages.
-
-These steps assume you've already [set your site up](getting_started_part_two.md) and it's served under the default Pages domain `namespace.gitlab.io`, or `namespace.gitlab.io/project-name`.
-
-## Adding your custom domain to GitLab Pages
-
-To use one or more custom domain with your Pages site, there are two things
-you should consider first, which we'll cover in this guide:
-
-1. Either if you're adding a **root domain** or a **subdomain**, for which
- you'll need to set up [DNS records](#dns-records)
-1. Whether you want to add an [SSL/TLS certificate](#ssltls-certificates) or not
-
-To finish the association, you need to [add your domain to your project's Pages settings](#add-your-custom-domain-to-gitlab-pages-settings).
-
-Let's start from the beginning with [DNS records](#dns-records).
-If you already know how they work and want to skip the introduction to DNS,
-you may be interested in skipping it until the [TL;DR](#tldr) section below.
-
-### DNS Records
-
-A Domain Name System (DNS) web service routes visitors to websites
-by translating domain names (such as `www.example.com`) into the
-numeric IP addresses (such as `192.0.2.1`) that computers use to
-connect to each other.
-
-A DNS record is created to point a (sub)domain to a certain location,
-which can be an IP address or another domain. In case you want to use
-GitLab Pages with your own (sub)domain, you need to access your domain's
-registrar control panel to add a DNS record pointing it back to your
-GitLab Pages site.
-
-Note that **how to** add DNS records depends on which server your domain
-is hosted on. Every control panel has its own place to do it. If you are
-not an admin of your domain, and don't have access to your registrar,
-you'll need to ask for the technical support of your hosting service
-to do it for you.
-
-To help you out, we've gathered some instructions on how to do that
-for the most popular hosting services:
-
-- [Amazon](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/gettingstarted/latest/swh/getting-started-configure-route53.html)
-- [Bluehost](https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/559)

-- [Microsoft](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727018.aspx)
-
-If your hosting service is not listed above, you can just try to
-search the web for `how to add dns record on <my hosting service>`.
-
-#### DNS A record
-
-In case you want to point a root domain (`example.com`) to your
-GitLab Pages site, deployed to `namespace.gitlab.io`, you need to
-log into your domain's admin control panel and add a DNS `A` record
-pointing your domain to Pages' server IP address. For projects on
-GitLab.com, this IP is `35.185.44.232`. For projects living in
-other GitLab instances (CE or EE), please contact your sysadmin
-asking for this information (which IP address is Pages server
-running on your instance).
-
-**Practical Example:**
-
-![DNS A record pointing to GitLab.com Pages server](img/dns_add_new_a_record_example_updated_2018.png)
-
-CAUTION: **Caution:**
-Note that if you use your root domain for your GitLab Pages website
-**only**, and if your domain registrar supports this feature, you can
-add a DNS apex `CNAME` record instead of an `A` record. The main
-advantage of doing so is that when GitLab Pages IP on GitLab.com
-changes for whatever reason, you don't need to update your `A` record.
-There may be a few exceptions, but **this method is not recommended**
-as it most likely won't work if you set an `MX` record for your root domain.
-
-#### DNS CNAME record
-
-In case you want to point a subdomain (`hello-world.example.com`)
-to your GitLab Pages site initially deployed to `namespace.gitlab.io`,
-you need to log into your domain's admin control panel and add a DNS
-`CNAME` record pointing your subdomain to your website URL
-(`namespace.gitlab.io`) address.
-
-Note that, whether it's a user or a project website, the `CNAME`
-should point to your Pages domain (`namespace.gitlab.io`),
-without any `/project-name`.
-
-**Practical Example:**
-
-![DNS CNAME record pointing to GitLab.com project](img/dns_cname_record_example.png)
-
-#### DNS TXT record
-
-Unless your GitLab administrator has [disabled custom domain verification](../../../administration/pages/index.md#custom-domain-verification),
-you'll have to prove that you own the domain by creating a `TXT` record
-containing a verification code. The code will be displayed after you
-[add your custom domain to GitLab Pages settings](#add-your-custom-domain-to-gitlab-pages-settings).
-
-If using a [DNS A record](#dns-a-record), you can place the TXT record directly
-under the domain. If using a [DNS CNAME record](#dns-cname-record), the two record types won't
-co-exist, so you need to place the TXT record in a special subdomain of its own.
-
-If the domain cannot be verified for 7 days, it will be removed from the GitLab project.
-
-#### TL;DR
-
-For root domains (`domain.com`), set a DNS `A` record and verify your
-domain's ownership with a TXT record:
-
-| From | DNS Record | To |
-| ---- | ---------- | -- |
-| domain.com | A | 35.185.44.232 |
-| domain.com | TXT | gitlab-pages-verification-code=00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff |
-
-For subdomains (`subdomain.domain.com`), set a DNS `CNAME` record and
-verify your domain's ownership with a TXT record:
-
-| From | DNS Record | To |
-| ---- | ---------- | -- |
-| subdomain.domain.com | CNAME | namespace.gitlab.io |
-| _gitlab-pages-verification-code.subdomain.domain.com | TXT | gitlab-pages-verification-code=00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff |
-
-> **Notes**:
->
-> - **Do not** use a CNAME record if you want to point your
- `domain.com` to your GitLab Pages site. Use an `A` record instead.
-> - **Do not** add any special chars after the default Pages
- domain. E.g., **do not** point your `subdomain.domain.com` to
- `namespace.gitlab.io.` or `namespace.gitlab.io/`.
-> - GitLab Pages IP on GitLab.com [was changed](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/03/06/we-are-changing-the-ip-of-gitlab-pages-on-gitlab-com/) in 2017
-> - GitLab Pages IP on GitLab.com [has been changed](https://about.gitlab.com/2018/07/19/gcp-move-update/#gitlab-pages-and-custom-domains)
- from `52.167.214.135` to `35.185.44.232` in 2018
-
-### Add your custom domain to GitLab Pages settings
-
-Once you've set the DNS record, you'll need navigate to your project's
-**Setting > Pages** and click **+ New domain** to add your custom domain to
-GitLab Pages. You can choose whether to add an [SSL/TLS certificate](#ssltls-certificates)
-to make your website accessible under HTTPS or leave it blank. If you don't add a certificate,
-your site will be accessible only via HTTP:
-
-![Add new domain](img/add_certificate_to_pages.png)
-
-Once you have added a new domain, you will need to **verify your ownership**
-(unless the GitLab administrator has disabled this feature). A verification code
-will be shown to you; add it as a [DNS TXT record](#dns-txt-record), then press
-the "Verify ownership" button to activate your new domain:
-
-![Verify your domain](img/verify_your_domain.png)
-
-Once your domain has been verified, leave the verification record in place -
-your domain will be periodically reverified, and may be disabled if the record
-is removed.
-
-You can add more than one alias (custom domains and subdomains) to the same project.
-An alias can be understood as having many doors leading to the same room.
-
-All the aliases you've set to your site will be listed on **Setting > Pages**.
-From that page, you can view, add, and remove them.
-
-Note that [DNS propagation may take some time (up to 24h)](http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/domain-names/dns-nameserver-changes/domain-names-dns-changes),
-although it's usually a matter of minutes to complete. Until it does, verification
-will fail and attempts to visit your domain will respond with a 404.
-
-### Redirecting `www.domain.com` to `domain.com` with Cloudflare
-
-If you use Cloudflare, you can redirect `www` to `domain.com` without the need of adding both
-`www.domain.com` and `domain.com` to GitLab. This happens due to a [Cloudflare feature that creates
-a 301 redirect as a "page rule"](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/48848#note_87314849) for redirecting `www.domain.com` to `domain.com`. In this case,
-you can use the following setup:
-
-- In Cloudflare, create a DNS `A` record pointing `domain.com` to `35.185.44.232`
-- In GitLab, add the domain to GitLab Pages
-- In Cloudflare, create a DNS `TXT` record to verify your domain
-- In Cloudflare, create a DNS `CNAME` record pointing `www` to `domain.com`
-
-## SSL/TLS Certificates
-
-Every GitLab Pages project on GitLab.com will be available under
-HTTPS for the default Pages domain (`*.gitlab.io`). Once you set
-up your Pages project with your custom (sub)domain, if you want
-it secured by HTTPS, you will have to issue a certificate for that
-(sub)domain and install it on your project.
-
->**Note:**
-Certificates are NOT required to add to your custom
-(sub)domain on your GitLab Pages project, though they are
-highly recommendable.
-
-Let's start with an introduction to the importance of HTTPS.
-Alternatively, jump ahead to [adding certificates to your project](#adding-certificates-to-your-project).
-
-### Why should I care about HTTPS?
-
-This might be your first question. If our sites are hosted by GitLab Pages,
-they are static, hence we are not dealing with server-side scripts
-nor credit card transactions, then why do we need secure connections?
-
-Back in the 1990s, where HTTPS came out, [SSL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#SSL_1.0.2C_2.0_and_3.0) was considered a "special"
-security measure, necessary just for big companies, like banks and shoppings sites
-with financial transactions.
-Now we have a different picture. [According to Josh Aas](https://letsencrypt.org/2015/10/29/phishing-and-malware.html), Executive Director at [ISRG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Security_Research_Group):
-
-> _We’ve since come to realize that HTTPS is important for almost all websites. It’s important for any website that allows people to log in with a password, any website that [tracks its users](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2013/12/10/nsa-uses-google-cookies-to-pinpoint-targets-for-hacking/) in any way, any website that [doesn’t want its content altered](http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/09/why-comcasts-javascript-ad-injections-threaten-security-net-neutrality/), and for any site that offers content people might not want others to know they are consuming. We’ve also learned that any site not secured by HTTPS [can be used to attack other sites](https://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/04/dont-be-fodder-for-chinas-great-cannon/)._
-
-Therefore, the reason why certificates are so important is that they encrypt
-the connection between the **client** (you, me, your visitors)
-and the **server** (where you site lives), through a keychain of
-authentications and validations.
-
-How about taking Josh's advice and protecting our sites too? We will be
-well supported, and we'll contribute to a safer internet.
-
-### Organizations supporting HTTPS
-
-There is a huge movement in favor of securing all the web. W3C fully
-[supports the cause](https://w3ctag.github.io/web-https/) and explains very well
-the reasons for that. Richard Barnes, a writer for Mozilla Security Blog,
-suggested that [Firefox would deprecate HTTP](https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2015/04/30/deprecating-non-secure-http/),
-and would no longer accept unsecured connections. Recently, Mozilla published a
-[communication](https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2016/03/29/march-2016-ca-communication/)
-reiterating the importance of HTTPS.
-
-## Issuing Certificates
-
-GitLab Pages accepts certificates provided in the [PEM](https://support.quovadisglobal.com/kb/a37/what-is-pem-format.aspx) format, issued by
-[Certificate Authorities (CAs)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority) or as
-[self-signed certificates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-signed_certificate). Note that [self-signed certificates are typically not used](https://securingtomorrow.mcafee.com/other-blogs/mcafee-labs/self-signed-certificates-secure-so-why-ban/)
-for public websites for security reasons and to ensure that browsers trust your site's certificate.
-
-There are various kinds of certificates, each one
-with a certain security level. A static personal website will
-not require the same security level as an online banking web app,
-for instance.
-
-There are some certificate authorities that
-offer free certificates, aiming to make the internet more secure
-to everyone. The most popular is [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/),
-which issues certificates trusted by most of browsers, it's open
-source, and free to use. See our tutorial on [how to secure your GitLab Pages website with Let's Encrypt](lets_encrypt_for_gitlab_pages.md).
-
-Similarly popular are [certificates issued by CloudFlare](https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/),
-which also offers a [free CDN service](https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflares-free-cdn-and-you/).
-Their certs are valid up to 15 years. See the tutorial on
-[how to add a CloudFlare Certificate to your GitLab Pages website](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/02/07/setting-up-gitlab-pages-with-cloudflare-certificates/).
-
-### Adding certificates to your project
-
-Regardless the CA you choose, the steps to add your certificate to
-your Pages project are the same.
-
-### What do you need
-
-1. A PEM certificate
-1. An intermediate certificate
-1. A private key
-
-![Pages project - adding certificates](img/add_certificate_to_pages.png)
-
-These fields are found under your **Project**'s **Settings** > **Pages** > **New Domain**.
-
-### What's what?
-
-- A PEM certificate is the certificate generated by the CA,
- which needs to be added to the field **Certificate (PEM)**.
-- An [intermediate certificate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_certificate_authority) (aka "root certificate") is
- the part of the encryption keychain that identifies the CA.
- Usually it's combined with the PEM certificate, but there are
- some cases in which you need to add them manually.
- [CloudFlare certs](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/02/07/setting-up-gitlab-pages-with-cloudflare-certificates/)
- are one of these cases.
-- A private key is an encrypted key which validates
- your PEM against your domain.
-
-### Now what?
-
-Now that you hopefully understand why you need all
-of this, it's simple:
-
-- Your PEM certificate needs to be added to the first field
-- If your certificate is missing its intermediate, copy
- and paste the root certificate (usually available from your CA website)
- and paste it in the [same field as your PEM certificate](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/02/07/setting-up-gitlab-pages-with-cloudflare-certificates/),
- just jumping a line between them.
-- Copy your private key and paste it in the last field
-
->**Note:**
-**Do not** open certificates or encryption keys in
-regular text editors. Always use code editors (such as
-Sublime Text, Atom, Dreamweaver, Brackets, etc).

+# GitLab Quick Actions
Quick actions are textual shortcuts for common actions on issues, epics, merge requests,
and commits that are usually done by clicking buttons or dropdowns in GitLab's UI.
You can enter these commands while creating a new issue or merge request, or
in comments of issues, epics, merge requests, and commits. Each command should be
on a separate line in order to be properly detected and executed. Once executed,

+
+Many quick actions require a parameter, for example: username, milestone, and
+label. [Autocomplete characters](autocomplete_characters.md) can make it easier
+to enter a parameter, compared to selecting items from a list.
+
+## Quick actions parameters
+
+The easiest way to set parameters for quick actions is to use autocomplete. If
+you manually enter a parameter, it must be enclosed in double quotation marks
+(`"`), unless it contains only:
+
+1. ASCII letters.
+1. Numerals.
+1. Underscore, hyphen, question mark, dot, and ampersand.

+Parameters are also case-sensitive. Autocomplete handles this, and the insertion
+of quotation marks, automatically.

+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/5276) in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 12.0.
+
+File changes in the Web IDE can be synced to a running web terminal.
+This enables users to test their code changes in a preconfigured terminal
+environment.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+Only file changes in the Web IDE are synced to the terminal.
+Changes made in the terminal are **not** synced to the Web IDE.
+This feature is only available for Kubernetes Runners.
+
+To enable file syncing to the web terminal, the `.gitlab/.gitlab-webide.yml`
+file needs to have a `webide-file-sync` service configured. Here is an example
+configuration for a Node JS project which uses this service:
+
+```yaml
+terminal:
+ # This can be any image that has the necessary runtime environment for your project.
+ image:
+ name: node:10-alpine
+ services:
+ - name: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/webide-file-sync:latest
+ alias: webide-file-sync
+ entrypoint: ["/bin/sh"]
+ command: ["-c", "sleep 5 && ./webide-file-sync -project-dir $CI_PROJECT_DIR"]
+ ports:
+ # The `webide-file-sync` executable defaults to port 3000.
+ - number: 3000
+```
+
+- The `webide-file-sync` executable must start **after** the project
+ directory is available. This is why we need to add `sleep 5` to the `command`.
+ See [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/webide-file-sync/issues/7) for
+ more info.
+- `$CI_PROJECT_DIR` is a
+ [predefined environment variable](../../../ci/variables/predefined_variables.md)
+ for GitLab Runners. This is where your project's repository will be.
+
+Once you have configured the web terminal for file syncing, then when the web
+terminal is started, a **Terminal** status will be visible in the status bar.
+
+![Web IDE Client Side Evaluation](img/terminal_status.png)
+
+Changes made to your files via the Web IDE will sync to the running terminal
