In GitLab you can create a new project/repository not only through a user interface, but also from the command line.
When you create a new local Git repository and then push it to GitLab, if this repository doesn’t exit there, the corresponding project for it will be created automatically.
This short note shows how to create a new project/repository on GitLab from the command line. (more…)
By default, GitLab CI/CD pipelines are executed automatically on pushing new commits to a repository and don’t require any intervention once created.
However, there are also times when you need to trigger pipelines manually, without updating the project.
In this note i will show how to trigger the GitLab CI/CD pipelines manually through the GitLab’s user interface and through the API using cURL, Webhook or from another project’s .gitlab-ci.yml. (more…)
GitLab CI/CD can be used with Docker to build Docker images.
For example, you can create a Docker image of your application and push it to a GitLab’s Container Registry.
In this note i am showing an example of how to create a new repository in GitLab with a CI/CD pipeline that will be used for building a “Hello World” Docker image and pushing it to a registry. (more…)
GitLab CI/CD is a part of GitLab that is used for continuous integration (CI), delivery (CD) and deployment (CD).
With GitLab CI/CD, you can automatically build, test and publish your software with no third-party application or integration needed.
In this note i am showing an example of how to create a new repository in GitLab with a “Hello World” CI/CD pipeline that will be triggered automatically on each commit and push to remote. (more…)
Environment variables are extremely useful as they bring a lot of flexibility to CI/CD jobs and pipelines in GitLab.
There are some predefined variables that are available in every GitLab CI/CD pipeline and custom variables that can be defined in different ways.
In this short note i will show how to list all the environment variables in GitLab CI/CD and print their values. (more…)
