Was ist GitLab CI?

The GitLab CI server - also known as the coordinator - does not execute any builds itself. It delegates this to so-called runners. A runner is a process that polls the coordinator to pick up and process pending jobs. The principle of GitLab CD is referred to as a GitLab pipeline. This GitLab pipeline defines under which condition which validation is checked in order to publish the corresponding software parts. Code versioning and associated techniques such as branching play an important role in CD.
GitLab can be used as a web-based application or can be installed on your own server (GitLab self-hosted). GitLab Pages can be used to host static websites and create project documentation.

A GitLab tutorial includes the following content:

• Create users in GitLab via "New User"
• Create a new project with "New Project"
• Working together in a team with GitLab with authorizations and access rights

Knowledge about GitLab can also be acquired with a Git course.
