Description

This book is aimed at developers and devops that have a GitLab server running, and want to be sure they use it to its full potential. This book will also be useful for people looking for a great Git platform, and learn how to set it up successfully. Some system administrating experience on a UNIX-based system would be useful, but is not required.

  • Work with multiple users, create groups, and configure your project visibility
  • Secure your code with the correct GitLab configuration
  • Make the most of the builtin issue tracker, including merge requests
  • Manage your projects through the GitLab API

  • Manage your GitLab server using LDAP

This book covers all the details needed to get up and running with git and GitLab. Jeroen does a great job with tough topics for beginners in his introduction to git, installation of GitLab from source and the new Omnibus packages, basic troubleshooting and managing upgrades. This book also provides in-depth coverage of all the GitLab features, GitLab Continuous Integration server (GitLab CI), the GitLab API, and more. I was pleasantly surprised to see the section dedicated to LDAP integration, too. Overall, this book provides a good foundation for GitLab users.

Dieses Buch liefert in kurzen und verständlichen Beispielen die Grundzüge von GitLab. Da ich selbst von der Gerrit-Welt komme ist GitLab für mich ein weiter Sprung Richtung Development Zukunft.Schmerzlich vermisse ich jedoch Beispiele für die Anbindung an externe Systeme wie JIRA & Jenkins, welche jedoch State of the Art für Developers & DevOps sind.

A lot of the material is outdated. Almost all of what this book covers is listed for free at gitlabdotcomslashhelp. It would be awesome if the book was periodically updated biannually.
