Are you looking to use Vue.js 3 for building web apps but don't know where to begin?

Using GitLab CI/CD to test our code

GitLab has a built-in CI/CD tool called GitLab CI/CD. To use GitLab CI/CD, you’ll need a GitLab account. To interact with Git repositories hosted on GitLab, you’ll also need to associate an SSH key from your machine to your GitLab account.

Note

Instructions for adding an SSH key can be found in the GitLab documentation at https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ssh/index.html.

Once you’ve created an account, you can create a new repository using the Create blank project action, as shown in the following screenshot. If you are an existing user, you can use the Create new project button at the top right of the Projects page.
