Linked icon on the nav bar?

[petzi53]

I want to put an "edit-this-page" icon alongside the search icon in the navbar. I want to link this icon to my GitHub repo.
How can I do it? (I am using the blog template version = "5.0.0-beta.2").

You can add social icons to the navbar in your admin author profile.
Add the following to the _index.md under ./content/athours/<youradminprofile>/:

social:
- icon: github
  icon_pack: fab
  link: <linktoyourguthubprofile>
  label: "tooltip text"
  display:
    header: true

Wowchemy has a build-in "edit-this-page" feature, that puts a link to the exact page on Github, in the footer. This can be activated in params.yaml. See this link: https://github.com/wowchemy/starter-academic/blob/master/config/_default/params.yaml#L83

@chrede88 Thank you!! Actually, I have seen the "edit-this-page" feature, but I have always believed it will appear on the navbar. Now I understand that these are two different features!
