FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

Is it a waste of time to learn GitLab when GitHub is the more dominant one? 
Let me tell you at this point in time, GitLab is the only repository manager that is open source with lots of different hosting options and with a free integration of Continuous Integration. It is very late to join the market and its popularity is growing rapidly with more and more companies embracing GitLab.

Direct to the main point, excellent!! BEsides, it gives us some links to external material that very good as well.

By Michaela Seferian-Jenkins on 3/20/2024

Wish there would have been a bit more detail. Don't think I would consider myself an expert after this course like the title states, but definitely gives you a baselines understanding.

By Bill Vitaniemi on 4/22/2023

The course is a good high level intro to git and gitlab and "CI for Beginners" is appropriate. However, for "Become a DevOps Expert" it's going to need a lot more depth in the gitlab CI part and add something for CD as there is none. I couldn't get the sample simple npm pipeline to run and taht gave me an opportunity to do some troubleshooting. It turns out that the system I'm training on is just too outdated to run newer versions of npm. Needs some clarification on using runners as by default, pipelines will try to use the shared gitlab runners. Gitlab wants a cc# for this, something they are not getting from me. I did figure out how to get the pipeline to use my locally installed runner. These finer details of runners are not covered in the course but, hey, figuring this out is just a part of my learning experience.

Instructor is clear, and knowlegeable. The topics and pace of the course are good. Please, in future, when you show typing in a terminal window, enlarge the window font first. The text is small and faint in my browser. Otherwise, great course.

By Scot Braze on 11/28/2020

I would have liked to see far more relevant examples. If you are completely new to git and gitlab, this might be a good course, but do not expect to be barely past 'I know nothing' when it comes to applying any of this on a real project. You will not be an expert at any aspect of git or gitlab at the end of this course.

By Joshua Belke on 3/26/2020

Looking for advanced details that would help on the expert path. Expected: More time on Gitlab CI and less time on Gitlab. - Multi-stage Docker Build - Docker Code/Image Deploy to remote machine - Continuous Deployment / Stop / Restart remote - Other: Immutable/Blue&Green/Canary - Advanced: Trigger another Pipeline from an existing pipeline.

Very useful and understandable course. Thank you very much

By Ujjwal on 1/8/2019

This course is too short . It does't cover nor suggest you prerequisite about course. It should also cover basics of gitlab and also how remote and local repositry works. There are many topics that can be covered in this course. Although it is useful , but learning from this course is very less.

By David Rasmussen on 6/23/2018

The material is very useful for engineers and developers wanting to optimize their DevOps workflow. Instructor was rather structured and the lessons had a good flow.

By Jonny Svendsen on 6/23/2018

Great introduction to GitLab. I was not very experienced in GIT, but the quick introduction in the beginning was very helpful. Great for DevOps developers - I found many many neat tricks.
