Edit the Federal Website Directory file

1) Make small edits directly

  • Navigate to the file in your browser.
  • Click on the pencil in the top right corner.
  • Make any necessary changes (note that any field that has commas in it will need to remain wrapped in quotation marks).
  • Click 'Commit changes...'.
  • Put a quick, cursory note on what you changed in the 'Commit message'
  • Click 'Commit changes'

2) Copy and paste the entire file

  • Save your updated data to a csv file on your computer.
  • Open the csv file using a text editor (e.g. Notepad).
  • Select All.
  • Copy
  • Open up the file in your browser.
  • Click on the pencil in the top right corner.
  • Select All.
  • Paste.
  • Click 'Commit changes...'.
  • Put a quick, cursory note on what you changed in the 'Commit message'
  • Click 'Commit changes'

3) Update the file using github.dev

  • Navigate to the file in your browser.
  • Press ., opening up the file in github.dev
  • Ensure that your updated, local copy is has the exact same filename us-government-website-directory.csv. Drag the file from its local location in your file explorer to empty space below the filename in the Explorer in the left sidebar of github.dev.
  • You'll be prompted to confirm that you want to replace this file. Click Replace.
  • On the left sidebar, click 'Source Control' (4th icon down, should have a one on it right now).
  • Put a quick, cursory note on what you changed in the 'Message' box.
  • Click 'Commit and Push'.

Other, less-favored options include:

  • Updating the file using GitHub Desktop (though unfortunately you might not be able to install this program)
  • Delete the file and re-upload a updated version to the same location (this would be bad for track management and version history).
