La procedura per ottenere certi risultati da GitLab è riportata abbastanza bene. Purtroppo le spiegazioni non sono quasi mai approfondite.

A volte sembra dare per scontato che si conosca già il funzionamento di GitLab e dei suoi componenti, altre volte spiega banalità.

Forse la formula "cookbook" non è il massimo per questo tipo di software.
