Introduction to GitLab Platform
Maximize Collaboration and Efficiency with GitLab Platform
Overview - Introduction to GitLab Platform
In this GitLab training, participants will get a deep dive into the basics of Git, its configuration, and the shell and GUI clients. They will also get GitLab basics on repositories, issues and releases and practice conflict resolution in different Git histories and branches.
GitLab training introduces you to GitLab step-by-step with theory and hands-on exercises. By the end, you will be an expert on Git, GitLab, and workflows in your daily DevOps lifecycle. After working with their own repositories, the second day begins with practical Git workflows for small and large teams and related merge/release strategies. Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) is also on the agenda – an important topic in today’s DevOps environments. Part of the GitLab training is to directly consolidate and document what you have learned in exercises and then automatically create your own documentation with CI/CD.
Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to work with the GitLab Platform and use the key features of the solution. This two-day course is the essence of knowledge about the basics of working with GitLab Platform. The training will allow the participants to quickly get started working with the tool and meet the main requirements and expectations related to agile development, CI/CD pipelines, change and configuration management in ongoing projects.
Duration: 2 day (16 hours)
Type: Instructor-led Classroom (workshop)
Location: Remote or On-site
Language: English
Audience: This course is designed for system administrators and developers.
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of Linux is mandatory and the use of a text editor of your choice is an advantage.
If you already use version control systems (CVS, SVN), your entry into the world of Git will be easier.
