This training is designed as a one days hands-on training introducing GitLab, Workflows, CI/CD and many best practices with GitLab.
The GitLab Training with learning Git is recommended before taking this course.
The CI exercises follow with a real programming example in Golang, with later creating packages from them. The training aims to be more of a workshop with less explanations.
