Course content

1 section • 15 lectures • 2h 1m total length

  • Introduction8:03

    Begin with a GitLab introduction, learn Git vs GitLab, and how CI and continuous deployment fit into hosting; then create your first project and clone link to push and pull.

  • Getting Started11:51

    Learn to download and install git, initialize a local repository, configure global user name and email, and push commits to a GitLab project.

  • Fork Project4:52
  • SSH5:03
  • GitLab Runner8:44

    Learn to install, register, and start a GitLab runner for GitLab CI, obtain the registration token from your project, select a shell executor, and verify the activated runner.

  • Continues Integration and Deployment13:58
  • Branching and Merging8:57
  • Tags9:22

    Learn how to create git tags to mark release points or historic points in your repository, and how to display, push to remote, and delete tags in GitLab.

  • Fetch vs Pull6:16

    Explain git fetch and git pull: fetch downloads changes to the local repository without touching the working directory, enabling review before merging. Pull auto-merges into the current branch, risking conflicts.

  • Cherry Pick6:56
  • Revert and Reset12:09
  • Create a Merge Request3:42

    Learn how to create a merge request on GitLab by cloning a repo, creating a feature branch, committing changes, pushing, and submitting the merge request for review.

  • CI CD Stages and Jobs9:01

    Learn to create and manage GitLab CI pipelines with defined stages and jobs, including build, test, and deploy, using GitLab CI YAML and understanding parallel versus sequential execution.

  • CI Maven Project8:02
  • Node JS Project4:25

    Learn to build a Node.js project with GitLab CI/CD using a shared runner, two stages (build and build Docker image), and two jobs (build Node.js app and build Docker image).

Requirements

  • GitLab .com account (the free plan works very well)
  • Basic experience with Linux, Linux commands and using the terminal
  • Know how to work with Git (basics like configuring a repository locally, cloning, merge, commit, push)
  • Admin permissions that allow you to install additional tools (Node, npm, Docker, Virtualbox)

Description

his course is neither endorsed by, nor in partnership, nor affiliated with GitLab, Inc.

This course will teach you how to use Gitlab CI for your own projects. You will learn the basics of CI/CD and start building pipelines right from the first lecture.

Some highlights:

- have an overview of the Gitlab architecture

- create a simple pipeline

- learn the CI/CD practice by deploying a simple website

- use Docker images within Gitlab

- learn how to deploy a Java application to AWS, using AWS S3 and AWS Elastic Beanstalk.


This course will NOT make you a GitLab CI / DevOps expert

A lot of courses promise you will become an expert. Becoming an expert in any tool comes with time and hard work. It simply does not make sense to promise something like that. It will not be honest.

This is a course designed for beginners. Learning to build pipelines is a try-and-error process that can be very frustrating. You need to understand the tools you use and how GitLab can support your needs. In the end, GitLab is just a tool.

What I will try is to explain to you the basics and offer you enough practice opportunities so that you can apply what you learn easily in your own projects as well. I will show you how to build pipelines with Gitlab CI.
