GitLab Resources

You create the GitLab projects you need in the course yourself, one for each of the four assignments and one for the project, when you actually need them.

Create your resources via ActionHub

The resources are created via ActionHub, where you choose “GitLab Resources” for the course 2dv515. You can also go directly to the course’s GitLab resources page: actionhub.camp.lnu.se/courses/2dv515/gitlab.

Check the resource or resources you need right now and click Create my GitLab resources. Resources you have already created are not affected; only what you checked is created (along with any groups needed to hold it). The project is created in your own group on GitLab, under gitlab.lnu.se/2dv515/student/, where you clone it and push your work.

Requires a VPN connection

ActionHub can only be reached from inside the Linnaeus University network. If you are not on campus, you need an active eduVPN connection for the service to work.

Delay after registration

There can be a delay between registering (or re-registering) for the course and ActionHub detecting it and letting you create your GitLab resources. If you can’t create a resource yet, wait and try again a little later. See Registration.

The list grows during the course

Only the resources that the course management has activated are shown in the list, and that is controlled by dates set for each resource. If you don’t see an assignment yet, it’s because it’s not time for it yet. It will appear in the list when it becomes relevant.

Only create what you actually need, right now

Wait to create an assignment until you are actually going to start working on it. If you will work on A3 in a few weeks, you don’t need to create that GitLab project today. Unnecessarily created resources take up storage and server power for no reason. Be kind to our planet! 🌍

When you’re done

Each project is set up for submission through a merge request. When you have fulfilled the requirements, follow Submit an assignment as a merge request.

Curious about an assignment in advance?

You don’t need to create your own GitLab project just to read about an assignment in advance. The assignment descriptions are already here on the course website under Assignments and Projects.
