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 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 for various languages. You can fork and adjust them to your own needs.
• Examples and other resources listed below.

Contributing examples

Contributions are welcome! 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 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 that contains examples and templates specific to your enterprise.
