1. Project management¶

This week I worked on building a website in gitlab where I will be documenting my work.

Introduction¶

Gitlab¶

The website Im working on today is built by gitlab an application for implementing a git version control repository distributed version control system. Gitlab is a collaborative software development platform for large DevOps (a short for developement-operation an it’s a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops)) and DevSecOps (The secured DevOps) projects that combines the ability to develop, secure, and operate software in a single application. GitLab is free for individuals and it offers a location for online code storage and capabilities for issue tracking and CI/CD, a terms used to describe a process where multiple changes are made to a codebase simultaneously.

Markdown¶

The built website was written in Markdown format which is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor that is appealing to human readers in its source code form. Markdown format is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers that allows writing using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then converting it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

MKdocs¶

MkDocs is a fast, simple and downright static site generator that’s geared towards building project documentation. There’s a stack of good looking themes available for MkDocs. MkDocs builds completely static HTML sites that can be hosted on GitHub pages. The built-in dev-server allows to preview the documentation as writing it. It will even auto-reload and refresh the browser whenever changes are saved.

The following steps were made during the process of creating the “about me” page.

Step 01: Go to menue –> projects –> choose the personal account.
