How to set up and validate locally

Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.

  1. Ensure that Saas is simulated prior to testing
  2. Spin up GDK locally
  3. Open Devtools > Application > Cookies
  4. gitlab_user cookie's value will change to true when user logins in and expiration is set for 2 weeks from now
  5. cookie's expiration resets everytime a user logs in
