GitLab

What is GitLab?

Answer 1

A web-based Git repository that provides free open and private repositories, issue-following capabilities, and wikis. It is like GitHub.

.gitlab-ci.yml (file)

This file defines scripts that should be run during the CI/CD pipeline. When you add the file to your repository, GitLab detects it and an application called GitLab Runner runs the scripts defined in the jobs within it.

Question 3

Projects

Individual repositories.

Groups

They are directories/folders in GitLab. You create (and name) a root directory and then you can create sub groups. Then you can organize your Projects into groups.
