What you will learn in this course

WHY THIS COURSE IS A GAMECHANGER: Without clear workflows, development slows and errors multiply. After this training, you’ll use GitLab effectively for version control, CI/CD, and efficient team collaboration.

ABOUT THIS COURSE: This course introduces Git with an additional focus on using GitLab. You will learn to track changes with the most popular Source Control Management software git: No more losing code!

We will teach you how to collaborate on a shared code base, how to manage releases and how to establish a workflow that will help you ship code faster with Git and GitLab.

With a duration of two days, we can commit more time to practical examples in this course and allow more room for custom Git/GitLab workflows.
