--- comments: false --- # 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](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/tree/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates) 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](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples) for various languages. You can fork and adjust them to your own needs. - Examples and [other resources](#other-resources) listed below. ## CI/CD examples The following table lists examples for different use cases: | Use case | Resource | |:-----------------------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Browser performance testing | [Browser Performance Testing with the Sitespeed.io container](browser_performance.md). | | Clojure | [Test a Clojure application with GitLab CI/CD](test-clojure-application.md). | | Code quality analysis | [Analyze your project's Code Quality](code_quality.md). **[STARTER]** | | Container scanning | [Container Scanning with GitLab CI/CD](container_scanning.md). | | Dependency scanning | [Dependency Scanning with GitLab CI/CD](dependency_scanning.md). **[ULTIMATE]** | | Deployment with `dpl` | [Using `dpl` as deployment tool](deployment/README.md). | | Dynamic application

You can help your favorite programming language users and GitLab by sending a merge request with a guide for that language. You may want to apply for the [GitLab Community Writers Program](https://about.gitlab.com/community-writers/) to get paid for writing complete articles for GitLab. ### Adding templates to your GitLab installation **[PREMIUM ONLY]** If you want to have customized examples and templates for your own self-managed GitLab instance available to your team, your GitLab administrator can [designate an instance template repository](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/settings/instance_template_repository.html) that contains examples and templates specific to your enterprise. ## Other resources This section provides further resources to help you get familiar with different aspects of GitLab CI/CD.
