GitLab CI CD Pipeline Tutorial | Introduction | 2022

In this video I explain GitLab CI and walk you through the creation of your first GitLab pipeline!
GitLab CI/CD is a subset of features in GitLab that enables your team to perform DevOps practices like Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment. GitLab CI/CD automates the build, test, and deployment of your software application.
This video covers some of the most important components of GitLab CI/CD so that you can apply what you learn to your own software project.

Hey man can you make a tutorial for building CICD docker images using a workflow application. Im working with gitlab CICD for research however in the past have used Github actions for building and artifacting which was much easier for scripting and custom actions.

Thanks a lot! It's the greatest video about CI/CD, which I've ever watched. You could explain it so fast and so interesting!!!

[@tech_with_moss]

Thank you so much for the kind words.

[@dasvtx]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial. I am relatively green when it comes to GitLab CI CD and have viewed quite a few 'introductory' videos that left me more confused than ever. People flying through the content assuming a certain level of knowledge, endless clicking around the IDE with no explanation of why they went to a certain section - no context to tie everything together - it goes on and on. Then your video miraculously appeared in the playlist. Your teaching style and methodical approach was a breath of fresh air and now I have the mental picture I desperately was looking for and the confidence to move forward. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!!!! I have subscribed and am looking forward to exploring more of your content.

[@tech_with_moss]

Thank you so much for the kind words and extensive testimony. I really appreciate it and am so glad that you found the video valuable. I hope that you are able to find other valuable videos on my channel.

[@brindhaavanks-mt8vy]

[@adrianomarinho4176]

Hi Moss, Thanks for your video. This was an excellent tutorial! Clear and concise, not leaving any gaps. Cheers.

[@lucasnichols5226]

i am a complete newbie to CI/CD and whilst some of this was advanced, i left with a better understanding of Gitlab and pipelines so i am happy! Great content

[@tech_with_moss]

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and glad you thought it was valuable.

[@fritzkraus4905]

I'm not a developer, but as a Gitlab admin in our company I thank you very much for spending time sharing your knowledge for us. For me, this information is very valuable, thank you so much!

[@tech_with_moss]

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad the video was valuable!

[@juliestudy1475]

Thanks Moss for this amazing tutorial for absolute beginners like myself! I'm really grateful that you took the time to explain the essentials. As I was following along, in Dec 2023, GitLab won't let me make edits directly whilst in the main branch. The only way to do it is to create a branch first and edit the pipeline in the branch. Also, the artifacts paths won't accept a single line "build/executable-binary-file.v1" as in your example. It needs to be broken down into 2 lines, line 1: build/, line 2: executable-binary-file.v1. I look forward to more absolute beginner's tutorials from you! Thanks!

[@tech_with_moss]

Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it!

[@TheUdaysanu]

Awesome explanation to GIT Lab CI/CD , you didn't skipped minor aspects of CI/CD which is really helpful for beginners like me ! Looking for to more videos on GitLab .

[@tech_with_moss]

Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful.

[@robertguerrero3301]

I'm starting a new job where I will be the liaison between Sys Admin and Dev Ops teams and they use Gitlab for deployments. This was an excellent first step in getting to know the process. THANK YOU!!!

[@tech_with_moss]

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I'm really glad you liked the video. Congratulations on the new job!

[@Paul-eb2cl]

Awesome 🙏

[@nizarsassi7122]

Very helpful Thx

[@lalitshukla6585]

Wow ! thanks, though I was looking for checkout concept in gitlab pipeline from another gitlab instance. hope will get the answer 🙂

[@elishamabaje5428]

I love you bro, just started my first job as a devops engineer and the first thing I was tasked with was created a pipeline with a release artifact with no guidance. This video definitely helped alot, sxrambled online couldnt find any videos that broke it down like this. Appreciate the content!!

[@tech_with_moss]

That is awesome! I'm really glad to hear that the video helped. Congrats on the new job.

[@ahmeddarwish4768]

very good course

[@somesbhowmick2082]

Really wort full, clear lots of confusions

[@cafanwi]

Thanks bro for this video. Amazingly put together. I'm new to GitLab, but my goal is to learn how to create custom runners, build and deploy to rancher using HelM. Do you have a video with this useCase? This was such a great intro to my set-goal

[@amitpawar1677]

Nice Video sir

[@actionimme]

Great work! Not enough good teachers out there!

[@tech_with_moss]

Thank you!

[@platonaskarageorgis8763]

I have been searching for pipeline tutorials for days and this is the best I have seen so far thank you! I still have a question that I can't seem to find online. I want to create a pipeline that formats file code before a file is merged with the master branch. How could I for example explain that to the pipeline since the file is an unknown variable and I can't set it like you did with password?

[@crisantovillafuerte4243]

Thanks bro!

[@singh46928]

The BESSTTTTT..thanks
