How to Setup Gitlab

Github is great, but there are other cool options, like Gitlab, codeberg or forgejo.

Cloning a Gitlab Repository

You will see a message like you cant pull repositories ussing SSH until you add an SSH key to your profile

Then lets add it:

1. Go to user setting -> SSH Keys Section

2. Create a ssh key:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com" #place something that will make it easy to find

3. You will see something generated like

+---[RSA 4096]----+
|     .+ooo       |
|     .+.  .      |
and some more rows...

4. Go to the location folder of .ssh and look for the id_rsa.pub file generated (copy its content)
5. Paste it in the Gitlab UI (it will start by ssh-rsa and many more chars will follow)

Now, you can select the Code button in the Gitlab Repository, and select open in your IDE (with SSH).

Check how many branches there are:

git branch -a #list them all
git branch #and in which one you are

Change to another branch with:

git checkout other_branch_name #git checkout tests

Make your changes, commit and push to the specified branch with:

git add <file-name>
git commit -m "Your commit message" #git commit -m "Adding the script that creates testing scenarios from random combinations of the initial provided table"
git push origin other_branch_name #tests

Dont forget to set:

git config --global user.name "Jesus Alcocer"
git config --global user.email "jesus_alcocer@sthsthsth.com"

Use Cloudflare Workers and Pages with Gitlab

I have tried it with a Private Gitlab repository.

npm run dev #check
npm run build

npm install -g serve #serve with npm

#serve -s dist #http://localhost:3000

The Workflow - Cloudflare 💖 Gitlab

Once completed, you will see a successful workflow

The project has the free subdomain: cyclingthere.pages.dev, but you can add yours as well.

And yea…this is fast, x3 faster than using firebase:

Conclusions

A good readme always helps…for any repo, including the Gitlab ones.

python -m venv openltabletstests_venv 

openltabletstests_venv\Scripts\activate #activate venv (windows)
source openltabletstests_venv/bin/activate #(linux)

pip install -r requirements.txt 

How to use Gitlab Container Registry

There is live for contaienrs beyond Dockerhub and GHCR: try Gitlab CR

1. Authenticate with the GitLab Container Registry
   You can do this using the Docker CLI or the GitLab API.

2. Tag the local image with the GitLab Container Registry URL
   The GitLab Container Registry URL format:
   registry.gitlab.com/<group>/<project>/<image>:<tag>

3. Push the tagged image to the GitLab Container Registry
   Use either the Docker CLI or the GitLab API.

# Authenticate with the GitLab Container Registry
docker login registry.gitlab.com

# Tag the local image with the GitLab Container Registry URL
docker tag my-image registry.gitlab.com/my-group/my-project/my-image:latest

# Push the tagged image to the GitLab Container Registry
docker push registry.gitlab.com/my-group/my-project/my-image:latest

If using a self-hosted GitLab instance, configure the GitLab Container Registry to use a custom TLS certificate.
