DevOps principles are becoming more and more relevant in all processes which involve software development. Many development languages and software management environments already follow these paradigms. If you want to set up DevOps for SAP S/4HANA ABAP development processes, the Git-enabled Change and Transport System (gCTS) is the way to go.

The aim of this course is to provide you with an understanding of gCTS in all its aspects. You’ll get to know the features and options that are part of the standard delivery and learn how you can extend gCTS to adapt it to your processes and needs. Exercise documents are provided for your reference if you want to set up gCTS in your system(s).
