GitLab Cookbook

Vorweg: Da das Buch in Englisch vorliegt, mache ich meine Rezension ebenfalls in Englisch. ---- This review is based on my study of the GitLab Cookbook as E-Book. My background: I am maintaining an own GitLab instance within a small group of developers since a couple of weeks. So, I have already a solid background of GitLab, but did not know too much about some advanced techniques like webhooks and CI. Pros: - Many recipes are "closed", you don't need to read the complete book to benefit. - Good structure with "Getting ready", "How to do it" and "How it works". - Also contains some basic Git introductions to get started (and even advanced features like rebase, squashing). - Enough images to illustrate using the GUI. - Contains hints about useful testing tools like "RequestBin" and "Postman". - Good index. - Available also as EPUB. No DRM. Cons: - Contains some minor structural and lecture errors. - Too much Ubuntu related for me, but fortunately also covers source code installation. Summary: The GitLab Cookbook provides many useful recipes for running a GitLab instance on the own server. Of course the book can't go always so much in detail, but it covers all main topics - and more. Beginners but also advanced users will benefit from it. The book is good for general learning but also to just look-up certain topics, e.g. if you just want to get info about merge requests. ----
