From YouTube: Start a Free Trial at GitLab

Description

Learn how to get started with a free trial at GitLab

A

Today, I'm going to run through how to start a free trial here at git lab. So without further ado. The first thing you're going to do is come over here to the top right hand, corner and click. This giant get a free trial button.

A

After that, you'll be asked to create an account, um I'm going to create an account under winnie the pooh, because he was my favorite growing up.

A

Now, if someone already doesn't have this username I'll be able to use this one to create my account, and it looks like that one's taken and this one is good to go after that, you'll be able to import your email and create a password.

A

And then just verify that you're, not a bot.

A

From there you'll get a confirmation email in your inbox, which will open up a new tab.

A

And from that new tab, you'll be able to log. In with that password you created.

A

And here you'll be able to select a role now if your role is not here, you have the option of clicking other and then inputting it here, but for now I'm going to create a click, software developer and then say I just want to learn the basics of git and then you'll be able to create this free trial for your entire company or team, or just for you.

A

If you have a personal project, your last option is to sign up for email updates, which I highly suggest because, as you can see down here, we're launching a new version of git lab, and these email updates will just keep you up to date about what's going on here.

A

Now my company name is going to be honey lovers: rs because who doesn't love honey and we're going to be located here in america?.

A

From here I'll be able to get a group name which will house all of my projects or the projects that I'm creating right now, we'll name this group honeypot and call the project get honey.

A

From here you can start doing a happy dance because you've just created your first group and project and started your free trial here at gitlab and then once you get to your home screen, you can choose to add colleagues or co-workers to help you out with your project and then because I said we are going to be learning git as my option. You have here some tutorials that will help you set up your workspace and go through your workflow.

A

That's all for me here. I hope you guys have a good rest of your day.
