GitLab’s Island

Sung to the tune of The Ballad of Gilligan’s Isle written by Sherwood Schwartz and George Wyle Arranged for the GitLab Songbook By REB

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, A tale of the GitLab crew Whose product is still open source And released each month to you Sid is the mighty CEO His crew is brave and sure They iterate through merge requests To keep things clean and pure The issues can start piling up With pipelines getting tossed If not for the scaling of their CI tool Their deadlines would be lost. Their deadlines would be lost The code's released on the 22nd of each and every month With CI / CD And code review Code quality and web hooks An issue board Portfolios and metrics too GitLab's got it all!

Revolution

To the tune of Revolution written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, sung by the Beatles

You talk about transformation, well you know You need modern tools and processes You talk about evolution, well you know, A single platform helps put things at ease But when you talk about integration, don't you know that you can count me out Don't you know it's going to be complex, Don't you know it's going to be complex, Don't you know it's going to be complex Don't you know it's going to be, on time… You talk about real solutions, well you know, A standard platform can make things right When you talk about meeting deadlines, well you know enhanced collaboration & auto dev ops can make things right But when you talk about integration, don't you know that you can count me out Don't you know its going to be complex, Don't you know its going to be complex, Don't you know its going to be complex Verse 3…TBD Don't you know with GitLab, its alright Don't you know with GitLab, its on time Don't you know it going to be, its alright… Don't you know its going to be, on time… Repeat and fade out Rappers delight Git pull, git push, check your code in If your tests start acting up then you run them again

GitLab

Sung to the tune of Layla written by Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon, sung by Eric Clapton

Adapted for the GitLab Songbook By REB

What will you do when work needs testing When your repo's got your thoughts inside? You've been typing and coding much too long You've got to take it for a ride GitLab, the fine CI's a breeze GitLab, secure me if you please, GitLab Your tools sure do ease my worried mind Decided to move my big project When that old host let me down What a great tool, I fell in love with you! My productivity's gone speed-of-sound! GitLab, the whole SDLC GitLab, goes end to end for me, GitLab It's the best toolset I could find I wanted to increase iteration To keep me from going insane Now when I say, "That merge request's okay!" The next commit's already on my mind GitLab, productivity for me GitLab, I'm telling my VP, GitLab It means no more worried minds! GitLab, It's got the best CI/CD GitLab, scanning for security, GitLab It means no more worried minds! GitLab, the core edition's free! GitLab it goes end-to-end for thee, GitLab It means no more worried minds!

Africa

To the tune of Africa written by David Paich and Jeff Porcaro, sung by Toto

Arranged for the GitLab Songbook by Sid and REB

I hear slack pinging late at night But it ain't an announcement it's just a random conversation Arriving on that 12:30 flight My flight is running late I'll run from gate to gate with no hesitation Collecting colleagues along the way 23 on my flight talking of old summit memories Driver turned to me to say More GitLabber's waiting there for you…. It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that three hundred of us or more could never do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never have With my colleagues talking late at night This night will be sleepless but I'm enjoying their company Not many hours before it's light I'm sure tomorrow the bus won't wait for me if I'm not ready Hoping that I wake in time Frightened of paying if I don't come It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that three hundred of us or more could never do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never have Hurry up - the bus is waiting there for you It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that three hundred of us or more could never do I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa
