Feature | Provide GitLab link in above page right sidebar menu

I want to suggest an improvement to make the GitLab link in the header contextual. At the moment, it points to the documentation, which I guess is not the expected behavior when on a child page.

For example, when on the /composer/ page, it should linkt to the composer repository and so on.

I'll search for a plugin with that functionality or we write a little custom script picking up some information of the current or parent Markdown (md) file. For this, we could use a md field in the md file header

Update: We integrate a GitLab link at the top of the right page sidebar.

The theming process is a bit special but it's possible to do such changes and do subtheming, there is the ability to extend blocks, currently going through the theme structure and identifying which to override.

Have you seen Theme Extension? Looks like you can just overwrite individual templates.

Okay, I had some understanding troubles on how to get the data out of the markdown file, but I found that instead of page.repo, page.meta.repo worked. Added some minor styling to it. Looks and works great!

Great, small improvement but great UX benefit.
