GitLab CI/CD Examples

Examples are a useful way of understanding how to implement GitLab CI/CD for your specific use case.

Examples are available in several forms. As a collection of:

.gitlab-ci.yml template files maintained in GitLab. When you create a new file via the UI, GitLab will give you the option to choose one of these templates. This will allow you to quickly bootstrap your project for CI/CD. If your favorite programming language or framework are missing, we would love your help by sending a merge request with a new .gitlab-ci.yml to this project.
Repositories with example projects for various languages. You can fork and adjust them to your own needs.
