# GitLab CI/CD Variables
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
When receiving a job from GitLab CI, the [Runner] prepares the build environment.
It starts by setting a list of **predefined variables** (environment variables)
and a list of **user-defined variables**.
## Priority of variables
The variables can be overwritten and they take precedence over each other in
this order:
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
1. [Trigger variables][triggers] or [scheduled pipeline variables](../../user/project/pipelines/schedules.md#making-use-of-scheduled-pipeline-variables) (take precedence over all)
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
1. Project-level [variables](#variables) or [protected variables](#protected-variables)
1. Group-level [variables](#variables) or [protected variables](#protected-variables)
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
1. YAML-defined [job-level variables](../yaml/README.md#variables)
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
1. YAML-defined [global variables](../yaml/README.md#variables)
1. [Deployment variables](#deployment-variables)
1. [Predefined variables](#predefined-variables-environment-variables) (are the
lowest in the chain)
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
For example, if you define `API_TOKEN=secure` as a project variable and
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
`API_TOKEN=yaml` in your `.gitlab-ci.yml`, the `API_TOKEN` will take the value
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
`secure` as the project variables are higher in the chain.
## Unsupported variables
There are cases where some variables cannot be used in the context of a
`.gitlab-ci.yml` definition (for example under `script`). Read more
about which variables are [not supported](where_variables_can_be_used.md).
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
## Predefined variables (Environment variables)
Some of the predefined environment variables are available only if a minimum
version of [GitLab Runner][runner] is used. Consult the table below to find the
version of Runner required.
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
NOTE: **Note:**
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
Starting with GitLab 9.0, we have deprecated some variables. Read the
[9.0 Renaming](#9-0-renaming) section to find out their replacements. **You are
strongly advised to use the new variables as we will remove the old ones in
future GitLab releases.**

## 9.0 Renaming
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
To follow conventions of naming across GitLab, and to further move away from the
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
`build` term and toward `job` CI variables have been renamed for the 9.0
release.
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
NOTE: **Note:**
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
Starting with GitLab 9.0, we have deprecated the `$CI_BUILD_*` variables. **You are
strongly advised to use the new variables as we will remove the old ones in
future GitLab releases.**
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
| 8.x name | 9.0+ name |
| --------------------- |------------------------ |
| `CI_BUILD_ID` | `CI_JOB_ID` |
| `CI_BUILD_REF` | `CI_COMMIT_SHA` |
| `CI_BUILD_TAG` | `CI_COMMIT_TAG` |
2018-11-18 11:00:15 +05:30
| `CI_BUILD_BEFORE_SHA` | `CI_COMMIT_BEFORE_SHA` |
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30

| `CI_BUILD_NAME` | `CI_JOB_NAME` |
| `CI_BUILD_STAGE` | `CI_JOB_STAGE` |
| `CI_BUILD_REPO` | `CI_REPOSITORY_URL` |
| `CI_BUILD_TRIGGERED` | `CI_PIPELINE_TRIGGERED` |
| `CI_BUILD_MANUAL` | `CI_JOB_MANUAL` |
| `CI_BUILD_TOKEN` | `CI_JOB_TOKEN` |
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
## `.gitlab-ci.yml` defined variables
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
NOTE **Note:**
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
This feature requires GitLab Runner 0.5.0 or higher and GitLab CI 7.14 or higher.
GitLab CI allows you to add to `.gitlab-ci.yml` variables that are set in the
build environment. The variables are hence saved in the repository, and they
are meant to store non-sensitive project configuration, e.g., `RAILS_ENV` or
`DATABASE_URL`.
For example, if you set the variable below globally (not inside a job), it will
be used in all executed commands and scripts:
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
```yaml
variables:
DATABASE_URL: "postgres://postgres@postgres/my_database"
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
```
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
The YAML-defined variables are also set to all created
[service containers](../docker/using_docker_images.md), thus allowing to fine
tune them.
Variables can be defined at a global level, but also at a job level. To turn off
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
global defined variables in your job, define an empty hash:
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
```yaml
job_name:
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
variables: {}
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
```
You are able to use other variables inside your variable definition (or escape them with `$$`):
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
```yaml
variables:
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
LS_CMD: 'ls $FLAGS $$TMP_DIR'
FLAGS: '-al'
script:
- 'eval $LS_CMD' # will execute 'ls -al $TMP_DIR'
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
```
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
## Variables
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
NOTE: **Note:**
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
Group-level variables were added in GitLab 9.4.
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
CAUTION: **Important:**
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
Be aware that variables are not masked, and their values can be shown
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
in the job logs if explicitly asked to do so. If your project is public or
internal, you can set the pipelines private from your [project's Pipelines
settings](../../user/project/pipelines/settings.md#visibility-of-pipelines).
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
Follow the discussion in issue [#13784][ce-13784] for masking the variables.
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
GitLab CI allows you to define per-project or per-group variables
that are set in the pipeline environment. The variables are stored out of
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
the repository (not in `.gitlab-ci.yml`) and are securely passed to GitLab Runner
making them available during a pipeline run. It's the recommended method to
use for storing things like passwords, SSH keys and credentials.
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
Project-level variables can be added by going to your project's
**Settings > CI/CD**, then finding the section called **Variables**.
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
Likewise, group-level variables can be added by going to your group's
**Settings > CI/CD**, then finding the section called **Variables**.
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
Any variables of [subgroups] will be inherited recursively.
2018-12-13 13:39:08 +05:30
![Variables](img/variables.png)
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
Once you set them, they will be available for all subsequent pipelines. You can also
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
[protect your variables](#protected-variables).
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
### Protected variables
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
>**Notes:**
This feature requires GitLab 9.3 or higher.
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
Variables could be protected. Whenever a variable is
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
protected, it would only be securely passed to pipelines running on the
[protected branches] or [protected tags]. The other pipelines would not get any
protected variables.
Protected variables can be added by going to your project's
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
**Settings > CI/CD**, then finding the section called
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
**Variables**, and check "Protected".
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
Once you set them, they will be available for all subsequent pipelines.
2016-06-02 11:05:42 +05:30
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
### Manually-specified variables
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/44059) in GitLab 10.8.
Variables can be specified for a single pipeline run when a [manual pipeline](../pipelines.md#manually-executing-pipelines) is created.
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
## Deployment variables
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
NOTE: **Note:**
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
This feature requires GitLab CI 8.15 or higher.
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
[Project services](../../user/project/integrations/project_services.md) that are
responsible for deployment configuration may define their own variables that
are set in the build environment. These variables are only defined for
[deployment jobs](../environments.md). Please consult the documentation of
the project services that you are using to learn which variables they define.
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
An example project service that defines deployment variables is the
[Kubernetes integration](../../user/project/clusters/index.md#deployment-variables).
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
## Debug tracing
> Introduced in GitLab Runner 1.7.
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
CAUTION: **Warning:**
Enabling debug tracing can have severe security implications. The
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
output **will** contain the content of all your variables and any other
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
secrets! The output **will** be uploaded to the GitLab server and made visible
in job traces!
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
By default, GitLab Runner hides most of the details of what it is doing when
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
processing a job. This behavior keeps job traces short, and prevents secrets
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
from being leaked into the trace unless your script writes them to the screen.
If a job isn't working as expected, this can make the problem difficult to
investigate; in these cases, you can enable debug tracing in `.gitlab-ci.yml`.
Available on GitLab Runner v1.7+, this feature enables the shell's execution
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
trace, resulting in a verbose job trace listing all commands that were run,
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
variables that were set, etc.
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
Before enabling this, you should ensure jobs are visible to
[team members only](../../user/permissions.md#project-features). You should
also [erase](../pipelines.md#seeing-build-status) all generated job traces
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
before making them visible again.
To enable debug traces, set the `CI_DEBUG_TRACE` variable to `true`:
```yaml
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
job_name:
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
variables:
CI_DEBUG_TRACE: "true"
```
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
Example truncated output with debug trace set to true:
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30

## Using the CI variables in your job scripts
2016-04-02 18:10:28 +05:30
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
All variables are set as environment variables in the build environment, and
they are accessible with normal methods that are used to access such variables.
In most cases `bash` or `sh` is used to execute the job script.
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
To access environment variables, use the syntax for your Runner's [shell][shellexecutors].
| Shell | Usage |
|----------------------|-----------------|
| bash/sh | `$variable` |
| windows batch | `%variable%` |
| PowerShell | `$env:variable` |
To access environment variables in bash, prefix the variable name with (`$`):
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
```yaml
job_name:
script:
- echo $CI_JOB_ID
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
```
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
To access environment variables in **Windows Batch**, surround the variable
with (`%`):
```yaml
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
job_name:
script:
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
- echo %CI_JOB_ID%
```
To access environment variables in a **Windows PowerShell** environment, prefix
the variable name with (`$env:`):
```yaml
job_name:
script:
- echo $env:CI_JOB_ID
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
```
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
You can also list all environment variables with the `export` command,
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
but be aware that this will also expose the values of all the variables
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
you set, in the job log:
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
```yaml
2015-09-25 12:07:36 +05:30
job_name:
script:
- export
```
2016-06-02 11:05:42 +05:30
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
Example values:
```bash
export CI_JOB_ID="50"
export CI_COMMIT_SHA="1ecfd275763eff1d6b4844ea3168962458c9f27a"

## Variables expressions
> Variables expressions were added in GitLab 10.7.
It is possible to use variables expressions with only / except policies in
`.gitlab-ci.yml`. By using this approach you can limit what jobs are going to
be created within a pipeline after pushing a code to GitLab.
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
This is particularly useful in combination with variables and triggered
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
pipeline variables.
```yaml
deploy:
script: cap staging deploy
environment: staging
only:
variables:
- $RELEASE == "staging"
- $STAGING
```
Each expression provided is going to be evaluated before creating a pipeline.
If any of the conditions in `variables` evaluates to truth when using `only`,
a new job is going to be created. If any of the expressions evaluates to truth
when `except` is being used, a job is not going to be created.
This follows usual rules for [`only` / `except` policies][builds-policies].
### Supported syntax
Below you can find supported syntax reference:
1. Equality matching using a string
> Example: `$VARIABLE == "some value"`
You can use equality operator `==` to compare a variable content to a
string. We support both, double quotes and single quotes to define a string
value, so both `$VARIABLE == "some value"` and `$VARIABLE == 'some value'`
are supported. `"some value" == $VARIABLE` is correct too.
1. Checking for an undefined value
> Example: `$VARIABLE == null`
It sometimes happens that you want to check whether a variable is defined
or not. To do that, you can compare a variable to `null` keyword, like
`$VARIABLE == null`. This expression is going to evaluate to truth if
variable is not defined.
1. Checking for an empty variable
> Example: `$VARIABLE == ""`
If you want to check whether a variable is defined, but is empty, you can
simply compare it against an empty string, like `$VAR == ''`.
1. Comparing two variables
> Example: `$VARIABLE_1 == $VARIABLE_2`
It is possible to compare two variables. This is going to compare values
of these variables.
1. Variable presence check
> Example: `$STAGING`
If you only want to create a job when there is some variable present,
which means that it is defined and non-empty, you can simply use
variable name as an expression, like `$STAGING`. If `$STAGING` variable
is defined, and is non empty, expression will evaluate to truth.
`$STAGING` value needs to a string, with length higher than zero.
Variable that contains only whitespace characters is not an empty variable.
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
1. Pattern matching _(added in 11.0)_
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
> Example: `$VARIABLE =~ /^content.*/`
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
It is possible perform pattern matching against a variable and regular
expression. Expression like this evaluates to truth if matches are found.
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
Pattern matching is case-sensitive by default. Use `i` flag modifier, like
`/pattern/i` to make a pattern case-insensitive.
