GitLab CI/CD

GitLab is much more than a source version control system. It is a build server and an application development platform.

This training provides a practical and easy-to-understand introduction to Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) with GitLab. We begin with a compact introduction to Git to ensure that all participants have the foundation needed for modern DevOps workflows.

Confidently apply Git workflows (branches, merges, pull requests).
Understand the GitLab workflow: pull requests, issues, and issue boards.
Understand the value and benefits of CI/CD approaches.
Build your own GitLab CI/CD pipelines for simple to complex projects: environment variables, workflow control/rules, tags, and caching.
Learn the theory and use cases of GitLab Runners.
Integrate best practices for testing, security, and deployment.

Participants should have a laptop with direct internet access
Local admin rights or access to a terminal (in the browser)
Basic knowledge of the command line (Linux/Unix)
Initial experience in software development (unit testing, dependency management).

This training is aimed at software developers, software engineers, system engineers, and DevOps enthusiasts who want to use GitLab as the central hub for their software delivery process.
