Working with GitLab Course | DevelopIntelligence

Course Summary

The Working with GitLab training course provides the skills and knowledge needed to enable developers to utilize GitLab to manage an entire software development lifecycle.

The course begins by exploring project management principles and how to use the GitLab application to facilitate them. Students will then go on to discover basic GitLab functionality including repositories, branching, and file systems. The course concludes by moving deeper into the content reviewing Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), packaging, and security.

It is recommended that students have a working knowledge of Git and CI/CD methods. Knowledge of test-driven development, Docker, and Kubernetes would be useful but not required.
