First step to actually doing devops at work

Since my last post here asking for help, u guys made me realise im doing a shitjob as the person in devops. So made the first step, and asked whether i could create a feature branch, and the manager said "thumbs-up". I guess this is the first step towards being a "devops person"? Whats next? (I do have some git basics, like push and merging, need a refresher tho). Preferably light steps,nothing crazy as i got alot of catching up on my previous works.
