Enhancement - Video pages do not link to one another - continuous watch requires multiple clicks

[yotamcons]

URL of pages that could use the change

1. https://git-scm.com/video/what-is-version-control2.
2. https://git-scm.com/video/what-is-git3.
3. https://git-scm.com/video/get-going

Problem

Going over the four videos in the page, after I finished watching each I needed to get back to the videos home page, and then click into the next video.
This can be made easier by simply adding a link to the next video page.

When a video finishes playing the Vimeo player does pop suggestions (See attached image) - but the following videos don't necessarily appear there, and aren't named or ordered

thanks for the suggestion @yotamcons ! you are totally right, it could be way more user friendly.

i don't think at this moment there's the concept of order in the videos, but maybe we can just hardcode the link to other video since this list is not updated for a long time.

would you be interested in contributing with a MR @yotamcons ?

Hi Pedro,
Could you contact me privately to understand what it would require? I'm not familiar with Ruby or web development (other than basic HTML)

hey @yotamcons ! sorry for taking some time.

so the page where the video listing is rendered is https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/blob/main/app/views/doc/videos.html.erb, and the page that renders each video is https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/blob/main/app/views/doc/watch.html.erb

looking at the way we link each video on the listing it seems we could hardcode something in the watch.html.erb view as well:

https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/blob/main/app/views/doc/videos.html.erb#L13-L19

my suggestion would be to start by setting up the project locally (see https://github.com/git/git-scm.com#setup), and then try to play with those 2 views to create some early version. feel free to ping if you need more guidance!

@pedrorijo91 Unfortunately this seems like to much learning I'll need to do for that, sorry i wouldn't be able to help
