The Best GitLab eBooks of All Time

Use GitLab CI/CD pipelines for automating and deploying different steps of your software development lifecycle using best practices and troubleshooting methods.

Key FeaturesReap the power of GitLab CI/CD pipelines at every stage of your software development lifecycleLearn how GitLab makes Git easier to use and more powerful when committing and reviewing codeCement your understanding using hands-on tutorials and extensive self-assessment exercisesPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in the PDF formatBook DescriptionDevelopers and release engineers understand the high stakes involved in building, packaging, and deploying code correctly. Ensuring that your code is functionally correct, fast, and secure is a time-consuming and complex task. Code implementation, development, and deployment can be conducted efficiently using GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Automating DevOps with GitLab CI/CD Pipelines begins with the basics of Git and GitLab, showing how to commit and review code. You'll learn to set up GitLab Runners for executing and autoscaling CI/CD pipelines and creating and configuring pipelines for many software development lifecycle steps. You'll also discover where to find pipeline results in GitLab, and how to interpret those results. Through the course of the book, you'll become well-equipped with deploying code to different environments, advancing CI/CD pipeline features such as connecting GitLab to a Kubernetes cluster and using GitLab with Terraform, triggering pipelines and improving pipeline performance and using best practices and troubleshooting tips for uncooperative pipelines. In-text examples, use cases, and self-assessments will reinforce the important CI/CD, GitLab, and Git concepts, and help you prepare for interviews and certification exams related to GitLab. By the end of this book, you'll be able to use GitLab to build CI/CD pipelines that automate all the DevOps steps needed to build and deploy high-quality, secure code.

Port projects over from GitHub and convert SVN projects to GitLab hosted git projects. Key FeaturesEffective guide for GitLab migration from GitHub and SVN Learn to implement DevOps with GitLab 11 Manage projects with issue boards and time trackingBook DescriptionGitlab is an open source repository management and version control toolkit with an enterprise offering. This book is the ideal guide to GitLab as a version control system (VCS), issue management tool, and a continuous integration platform.

The book starts with an introduction to GitLab, a walkthrough of its features, and explores concepts such as version control systems, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It then takes you through the process of downloading and installing a local copy of the on-premise version of GitLab in Ubuntu and/or CentOS. You will look at some common work?ows associated with GitLab work?ow and learn about project management in GitLab. You will see tools and techniques for migrating your code base from various version control systems such as GitHub and SVN to GitLab. By the end of the book, you will be using Gitlab for repository management, and be able to migrate projects from other VCSs to GitLab. What you will learnSet up CI and test builds for your projects Understand the benefits and limitations of GitLab work?ow Migrate from other common VCS platforms to Gitlab Create, review, and merge code changes Learn to branch local code and create a new branch in GitLab Configure sequential stages and simultaneous stages for CI/CD Access Mattermost for on-premise GitLab Discover the issue tracking features of GitLabWho this book is forThe book is intended for the developers, SREs, and DevOps professionals who are looking for techniques to port their codebase to GitLab from GitHub or are looking to work with GitLab as their version control system of choice. If you've used other VCSs before, that will help with this book.

An expert guide to helping you use DevOps techniques with the latest GitLab version to optimize and manage your software workflow. Key FeaturesDelve into GitLab's architecture, and install and configure it to fit your environment Learn about the underlying principles of Agile software development and DevOps Explore Gitlab's features to manage enterprise cloud-native applications and servicesBook DescriptionGitLab is an open source repository management and version control toolkit with functions for enterprises and personal software projects.

It offers configurability options, extensions, and APIs that make it an ideal tool for enterprises to manage the software development life cycle. This book begins by explaining GitLab options and the components of the GitLab architecture. You will learn how to install and set up GitLab on-premises and in the cloud, along with understanding how to migrate code bases from different systems, such as GitHub, Concurrent Versions System, Team Foundation Version Control, and Subversion. Later chapters will help you implement DevOps culture by introducing the workflow management tools in GitLab and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD). In addition to this, the book will guide you through installing GitLab on a range of cloud platforms, monitoring with Prometheus, and deploying an environment with GitLab. You'll also focus on the GitLab CI component to assist you with creating development pipelines and jobs, along with helping you set up GitLab runners for your own project. Finally, you will be able to choose a high availability setup that fits your needs and helps you monitor and act on results obtained after testing. By the end of this book, you will have gained the expertise you need to use GitLab features effectively, and be able to integrate all phases in the development process.
