4. GitLab

GitLab introduction

We make extensive use of GitLab. We’re using it for the planning of our Sprints, the development, automated deployments and much more.

Please inform yourself broadly about the following topics:

• Git & Git (Wikipedia)

• GitLab (Wikipedia)

• DevOps (Wikipedia)

• CI/CD (Wikipedia)

Note

It’s enough if you just read the introduction in Wikipedia. Just make sure you understand it broadly.

GitLab login

Please try to login into our GitLab by using the LDAP provider with your personal credentials.

Note

After you’ve logged in the first time, GitLab asks you to setup 2FA. Please setup it asap, as you can only postpone this for 1 week.

Well known 2FA apps are Google Authenticator or Duo. Password managers such as Enpass sometime also have 2FA included, so that you don’t need a separate app for it.

When you’ve logged in successfully, ask your coach to add you to the confirm GitLab group, so that you’ve access to all of our projects / repositories.

Your coach will also give you an introduction into GitLab if you ask her / him.
