Oh My Zsh is a popular zsh configuration manager, offering tons of themes, functions, helpers, plugins, and other handy features for command line users.

It’s used heavily by many who spend a lot of time in the command line, whether for development, administration, or just geeking around, so if you’re in those categories you may find it worth checking out.

While zsh is now the default shell in Terminal app for modern macOS releases, Oh My Zsh is separate, and therefore must be installed and configured separately.

GitLab runners are the components of the GitLab CI/CD pipeline that are responsible for running jobs and executing the tasks defined in the pipeline configuration. They are typically used to build, test, and deploy code changes.

Terminology

GitLab Job
The tasks in the CI/CD pipeline such as running tests, building an image, deploying to a server etc. are configured as what’s called jobs.
GitLab Instance
Gitlab instance or also called Gitlab server that hosts your application code and your pipelines and basically the whole configuration. So it knows what needs to be done.
GitLab Runners
This is an agent installed on a different server from the GitLab server. The GitLab Runner receives instructions from the GitLab server in regards to which jobs to run. Each runner must be registered with the GitLab server.
Runner Executor
Each Runner will define at least one executor. An executor is essentially the environment where the job will be executed.

Types Of Executors

Shell executor
Virtual Machine executor (VirtualBox / Parallels)
Docker executor
Docker Machine executor
Kubernetes executor
SSH executor
Custom executor
