Learn how to install and use GitLab, a popular open-source alternative to tools like GitHub and Bitbucket, for version control and CI/CD.

Instructor Josh Samuelson kicks off the course by explaining how to create a project and navigate the GitLab interface. He then digs into how to work with GitLab for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) and source control, explaining how to leverage its collaboration features, create and run a pipeline, and more.
