Introduction to pipelines and builds
Note: Introduced in GitLab 8.8.
Pipelines
A pipeline is a group of builds that get executed in stages (batches). All of the builds in a stage are executed in parallel (if there are enough concurrent runners), and if they all succeed, the pipeline moves on to the next stage. If one of the builds fails, the next stage is not (usually) executed.
Builds
Builds are individual runs of jobs. Not to be confused with a build job or
build stage.
Defining pipelines
Pipelines are defined in .gitlab-ci.yml by specifying jobs that run in
stages.
See full documentation.
Seeing pipeline status
You can find the current and historical pipeline runs under Pipelines for your project.
Seeing build status
Clicking on a pipeline will show the builds that were run for that pipeline.
