## Tooltips
+Tooltips identify elements or provide additional, useful information about the referring elements. Tooltips are different from ALT-attributes, which are intended primarily for static images. Tooltips are summoned by:
+
+* Hovering over an element with a cursor
+* Focusing on an element with a keyboard (usually the tab key)
+* Upon touch
### Usage
-A tooltip should only be added if additional information is required.
+A tooltip should be used:
+* When there isn’t enough space to show the information
+* When it isn’t critical for the user to see the information
+* For icons that don’t have a label
+
+Tooltips shouldn’t repeat information that is shown near the referring element. However, they can show the same data in a different format (e.g. date or timestamps).
![Tooltip usage](img/tooltip-usage.png)
### Placement
-By default, tooltips should be placed below the element that they refer to. However, if there is not enough space in the viewpoint, the tooltip should be moved to the side as needed.

+# Writing documentation
+
+ - **General Documentation**: written by the developers responsible by creating features. Should be submitted in the same merge request containing code. Feature proposals (by GitLab contributors) should also be accompanied by its respective documentation. They can be later improved by PMs and Technical Writers.
+ - **Technical Articles**: written by any [GitLab Team](https://about.gitlab.com/team/) member, GitLab contributors, or [Community Writers](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/technical-writing/community-writers/).
+ - **Indexes per topic**: initially prepared by the Technical Writing Team, and kept up-to-date by developers and PMs, in the same merge request containing code.
+
+## Distinction between General Documentation and Technical Articles
+
+### General documentation
+
+General documentation is categorized by _User_, _Admin_, and _Contributor_, and describe what that feature is, what it does, and its available settings.
+
+### Technical Articles
+
+Technical articles replace technical content that once lived in the [GitLab Blog](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/), where they got out-of-date and weren't easily found.
+
+They are topic-related documentation, written with an user-friendly approach and language, aiming to provide the community with guidance on specific processes to achieve certain objectives.
+
+A technical article guides users and/or admins to achieve certain objectives (within guides and tutorials), or provide an overview of that particular topic or feature (within technical overviews). It can also describe the use, implementation, or integration of third-party tools with GitLab.
+
+They live under `doc/topics/topic-name/`, and can be searched per topic, within "Indexes per Topic" pages. The topics are listed on the main [Indexes per Topic](../topics/index.md) page.
+
+#### Types of Technical Articles
+
+- **User guides**: technical content to guide regular users from point A to point B
+- **Admin guides**: technical content to guide administrators of GitLab instances from point A to point B
+- **Technical Overviews**: technical content describing features, solutions, and third-party integrations
+- **Tutorials**: technical content provided step-by-step on how to do things, or how to reach very specific objectives
+
+#### Understanding guides, tutorials, and technical overviews
+
+Suppose there's a process to go from point A to point B in 5 steps: `(A) 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 (B)`.
+
+A **guide** can be understood as a description of certain processes to achieve a particular objective. A guide brings you from A to B describing the characteristics of that process, but not necessarily going over each step. It can mention, for example, steps 2 and 3, but does not necessarily explain how to accomplish them.
+
+- Live example: "GitLab Pages from A to Z - [Part 1](../user/project/pages/getting_started_part_one.md) to [Part 4](../user/project/pages/getting_started_part_four.md)"
+
+A **tutorial** requires a clear **step-by-step** guidance to achieve a singular objective. It brings you from A to B, describing precisely all the necessary steps involved in that process, showing each of the 5 steps to go from A to B.
+It does not only describes steps 2 and 3, but also shows you how to accomplish them.
+
+- Live example (on the blog): [Hosting on GitLab.com with GitLab Pages](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/04/07/gitlab-pages-setup/)
+
+A **technical overview** is a description of what a certain feature is, and what it does, but does not walk
+through the process of how to use it systematically.
+
+- Live example (on the blog): [GitLab Workflow, an overview](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/10/25/gitlab-workflow-an-overview/)
+
+#### Special format
+
+Every **Technical Article** contains, in the very beginning, a blockquote with the following information:
+
+- A reference to the **type of article** (user guide, admin guide, tech overview, tutorial)
+- A reference to the **knowledge level** expected from the reader to be able to follow through (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
+- A reference to the **author's name** and **GitLab.com handle**
+
+```md
+> **Type:** tutorial ||
+> **Level:** intermediary ||
+> **Author:** [Name Surname](https://gitlab.com/username)
+```
+
+#### Technical Articles - Writing Method
+
+Use the [writing method](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/technical-writing/#writing-method) defined by the Technical Writing team.
+
+## Documentation style guidelines
+
+All the docs follow the same [styleguide](doc_styleguide.md).
+
+### Markdown
+
+Currently GitLab docs use Redcarpet as [markdown](../user/markdown.md) engine, but there's an [open discussion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gitlab-docs/issues/50) for implementing Kramdown in the near future.

+### 1. Stop server
+
+```bash
+sudo service gitlab stop
+```
+
+### 2. Backup
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+### 3. Update Ruby
+
+NOTE: GitLab 9.0 and higher only support Ruby 2.3.x and dropped support for Ruby 2.1.x. Be
+sure to upgrade your interpreter if necessary.
+
+You can check which version you are running with `ruby -v`.
+
+Download and compile Ruby:
+
+```bash
+mkdir /tmp/ruby && cd /tmp/ruby
+curl --remote-name --progress https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.3/ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz
+echo '1014ee699071aa2ddd501907d18cbe15399c997d ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz' | shasum -c - && tar xzf ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz
+cd ruby-2.3.3
+./configure --disable-install-rdoc
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+Install Bundler:
+
+```bash
+sudo gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc
+```
+
+### 4. Update Node
+
+GitLab now runs [webpack](http://webpack.js.org) to compile frontend assets and
+it has a minimum requirement of node v4.3.0.
+
+You can check which version you are running with `node -v`. If you are running
+a version older than `v4.3.0` you will need to update to a newer version. You
+can find instructions to install from community maintained packages or compile
+from source at the nodejs.org website.
+
+<https://nodejs.org/en/download/>
+
+
+Since 8.17, GitLab requires the use of yarn `>= v0.17.0` to manage
+JavaScript dependencies.
+
+```bash
+curl --location https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash -
+```
+
+More information can be found on the [yarn website](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install).
+
+### 5. Get latest code
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
+sudo -u git -H git checkout -- db/schema.rb # local changes will be restored automatically
+```
+
+For GitLab Community Edition:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H git checkout 9-1-stable
+```
+
+OR
+
+For GitLab Enterprise Edition:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H git checkout 9-1-stable-ee
+```
+
+### 6. Update gitlab-shell
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
+
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
+sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_SHELL_VERSION)
+```
+
+### 7. Update gitlab-workhorse
+
+Install and compile gitlab-workhorse. This requires
+[Go 1.5](https://golang.org/dl) which should already be on your system from
+GitLab 8.1. GitLab-Workhorse uses [GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/).
+If you are not using Linux you may have to run `gmake` instead of
+`make` below.
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab-workhorse
+
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
+sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_WORKHORSE_VERSION)
+sudo -u git -H make
+```
+
+### 8. Update configuration files
+
+#### New configuration options for `gitlab.yml`
+
+There might be configuration options available for [`gitlab.yml`][yaml]. View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current `gitlab.yml`:
+
+```sh
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+git diff origin/9-0-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example origin/9-1-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
+```
+
+#### Configuration changes for repository storages
+
+This version introduces a new configuration structure for repository storages.
+Update your current configuration as follows, replacing with your storages names and paths:
+
+**For installations from source**
+
+1. Update your `gitlab.yml`, from
+
+ ```yaml
+ repositories:
+ storages: # You must have at least a 'default' storage path.
+ default: /home/git/repositories
+ nfs: /mnt/nfs/repositories
+ cephfs: /mnt/cephfs/repositories
+ ```
+
+ to
+
+ ```yaml
+ repositories:
+ storages: # You must have at least a 'default' storage path.
+ default:
+ path: /home/git/repositories
+ nfs:
+ path: /mnt/nfs/repositories
+ cephfs:
+ path: /mnt/cephfs/repositories
+ ```
+
+**For Omnibus installations**
+
+1. Update your `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`, from
+
+ ```ruby
+ git_data_dirs({
+ "default" => "/var/opt/gitlab/git-data",
+ "nfs" => "/mnt/nfs/git-data",
+ "cephfs" => "/mnt/cephfs/git-data"
+ })
+ ```
+
+ to
+
+ ```ruby
+ git_data_dirs({
+ "default" => { "path" => "/var/opt/gitlab/git-data" },
+ "nfs" => { "path" => "/mnt/nfs/git-data" },
+ "cephfs" => { "path" => "/mnt/cephfs/git-data" }
+ })
+ ```
+
+#### Git configuration
+
+Configure Git to generate packfile bitmaps (introduced in Git 2.0) on
+the GitLab server during `git gc`.
+
+```sh
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H git config --global repack.writeBitmaps true
+```
+
+#### Nginx configuration
+
+Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest NGINX configuration changes:
+
+```sh
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+# For HTTPS configurations
+git diff origin/9-0-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl origin/9-1-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl
+
+# For HTTP configurations
+git diff origin/9-0-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab origin/9-1-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab
+```
+
+If you are using Strict-Transport-Security in your installation to continue using it you must enable it in your Nginx
+configuration as GitLab application no longer handles setting it.
+
+If you are using Apache instead of NGINX please see the updated [Apache templates].
+Also note that because Apache does not support upstreams behind Unix sockets you
+will need to let gitlab-workhorse listen on a TCP port. You can do this
+via [/etc/default/gitlab].
+
+[Apache templates]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-recipes/tree/master/web-server/apache
+[/etc/default/gitlab]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/9-1-stable/lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example#L38
+
+#### SMTP configuration
+
+If you're installing from source and use SMTP to deliver mail, you will need to add the following line
+to config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb:
+
+```ruby
+ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
+```
+
+See [smtp_settings.rb.sample] as an example.
+
+[smtp_settings.rb.sample]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/9-0-stable/config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb.sample#L13
+
+#### Init script
+
+There might be new configuration options available for [`gitlab.default.example`][gl-example]. View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current `/etc/default/gitlab`:
+
+```sh
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+git diff origin/9-0-stable:lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example origin/9-1-stable:lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example
+```
+
+Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest init script changes:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
+```
+
+For Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+```
+
+### 9. Install libs, migrations, etc.
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+# MySQL installations (note: the line below states '--without postgres')
+sudo -u git -H bundle install --without postgres development test --deployment
+
+# PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without mysql')
+sudo -u git -H bundle install --without mysql development test --deployment
+
+# Optional: clean up old gems
+sudo -u git -H bundle clean
+
+# Run database migrations
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
+
+# Update node dependencies and recompile assets
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake yarn:install gitlab:assets:clean gitlab:assets:compile RAILS_ENV=production NODE_ENV=production
+
+# Clean up cache
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+**MySQL installations**: Run through the `MySQL strings limits` and `Tables and data conversion to utf8mb4` [tasks](../install/database_mysql.md).
+
+### 10. Optional: install Gitaly
+
+Gitaly is still an optional component of GitLab. If you want to save time
+during your 9.1 upgrade **you can skip this step**.
+
+If you have not yet set up Gitaly then follow [Gitaly section of the installation
+guide](../install/installation.md#install-gitaly).
+
+If you installed Gitaly in GitLab 9.0 you need to make some changes in gitlab.yml.
+
+Look for `socket_path:` the `gitaly:` section. Its value is usually
+`/home/git/gitlab/tmp/sockets/private/gitaly.socket`. Note what socket
+path your gitlab.yml is using. Now go to the `repositories:` section,
+and for each entry under `storages:`, add a `gitaly_address:` based on
+the socket path, but with `unix:` in front.
+
+```yaml
+ repositories:
+ storages:
+ default:
+ path: /home/git/repositories
+ gitaly_address: unix:/home/git/gitlab/tmp/sockets/private/gitaly.socket
+ other_storage:
+ path: /home/git/other-repositories
+ gitaly_address: unix:/home/git/gitlab/tmp/sockets/private/gitaly.socket
+```
+
+Each entry under `storages:` should use the same `gitaly_address`.
+
+### 11. Start application
+
+```bash
+sudo service gitlab start
+sudo service nginx restart
+```
+
+### 12. Check application status
+
+Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+If all items are green, then congratulations, the upgrade is complete!
+
+## Things went south? Revert to previous version (9.0)
+
+### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
+
+Follow the [upgrade guide from 8.17 to 9.0](8.17-to-9.0.md), except for the
+database migration (the backup is already migrated to the previous version).
+
+### 2. Restore from the backup
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+If you have more than one backup `*.tar` file(s) please add `BACKUP=timestamp_of_backup` to the command above.
