What you should know

- [Instructor] Before we get started, let's take a look at what you'll need for this course. This is meant to be an introductory course, so you shouldn't need any technical experience beyond how to use a web browser. You'll also need access to gitlab.com. GitLab is an open source project, and the exercises in this course should be possible on a self-hosted GitLab server, if you already have access to that and prefer not to use gitlab.com. Since GitLab is used mostly for software development, it would help to have some knowledge of that world. For example, someone in sales or marketing at a software company with an otherwise nontechnical background should be able to follow along without too much trouble. We'll be using Markdown, which is a simple document formatting language. If you have already used it, you should be very comfortable. But don't worry if you haven't. We'll cover everything you need. Markdown isn't really required for understanding GitLab. We're just using it to keep the code examples simple. No coding is required for this course, unless you count Markdown. I'll do one demo in JavaScript, just to show off some of the features of GitLab, but you don't need to have any experience writing code to take this course. We'll talk a little bit about Git, the engine that powers GitLab, but again, you don't need any experience using it. Git can actually be really difficult to use at first, because it isn't very intuitive until you already understand several of the core concepts. I'm hoping that this course will be a good intro for someone with zero previous experience using Git.
