DEV 125: Introduction to Collaborative Development with Git and GitLab

Course Description

The Git distributed version control system and the extended functionality provided by GitLab simplify and streamline application development within and among teams. By the end of this course, you and your team will have a fundamental understanding of the basic principles and best practices for working with a distributed version control system (DVCS), the benefits of working with a DVCS via the command line (basic Git) or a GUI (using GitLab), and how Git and GitLab work together. 

This course provides a software development team the ability to work on software processes in an integrated manner.  The course is designed to be accessible to all team members from project managers to data scientists. It provides practical, hands-on experience setting up both the DVCS environment in using both Git and then GitLab to work with code changes. The course includes concise lectures that introduce topics and then provide the critical, hand-on experience that provides practical examples and help cement student learning. End of chapter review quizzes provide a way for students to confirm their learning level and a final graded exam provides students the option to obtain a course certification.

    What Our Students Are Saying

    Image

    Ed Habib

    "A great experience. Having a live trainer provided great value in allowing immediate answers to questions.  I still use the GitLab CI course on occasion as a refresher."

    Image

    Will Smith

    "Our group was transitioning from an older version control software and needed to ramp up on GitLab quickly. Kumulus customized their course so that everyone learned using our actual system. We were able to use GitLab as we needed to after just one day."

    Image

    Mayumi Sherman

    "My team was already using GitLab, but this training smoothed a lot of the bumps our team was running into. We can now push code to prod faster and more consistently."
