GitLab CI/CD Examples
This page contains links to a variety of examples that can help you understand how to implement GitLab CI/CD for your specific use case.
Examples are available in several forms. As a collection of:
.gitlab-ci.ymltemplate files maintained in GitLab, for many common frameworks and programming languages.- Repositories with example projects for various languages. You can fork and adjust them to your own needs. Projects include an example of using Review Apps with a static site served by NGINX.
- Examples and other resources listed below.
CI/CD examples
The following table lists examples with step-by-step tutorials that are contained in this section:
Contributed examples
You can help people that use your favorite programming language by submitting a link to a guide for that language. These contributed guides are hosted externally or in separate example projects:
| Use case | Resource |
|---|---|
| Game development | DevOps and Game Development with GitLab CI/CD. |
| Java with Maven | How to deploy Maven projects to Artifactory with GitLab CI/CD. |
| Java with Spring Boot | Deploy a Spring Boot application to Cloud Foundry with GitLab CI/CD. |
| Parallel testing Ruby & JS | GitLab CI/CD parallel jobs testing for Ruby & JavaScript projects. |
| Scala on Heroku | Test and deploy a Scala application to Heroku. |
CI/CD templates
Get started with GitLab CI/CD and your favorite programming language or framework by using a
.gitlab-ci.yml template.
When you create a gitlab-ci.yml file in the UI, you can
choose one of these templates:
- Android (
Android.gitlab-ci.yml) - Android with fastlane (
Android-Fastlane.gitlab-ci.yml) - Bash (
Bash.gitlab-ci.yml) - C++ (
C++.gitlab-ci.yml) - Chef (

If a programming language or framework template is not in this list, you can contribute one. To create a template, submit a merge request to the templates list.
Adding templates to your GitLab installation (PREMIUM SELF)
You can add custom examples and templates to your self-managed GitLab instance. Your GitLab administrator can designate an instance template repository that contains examples and templates specific to your organization.
