Examples are available in several forms. As a collection of:
-`.gitlab-ci.yml` [template files](#cicd-templates) maintained in GitLab, for many
common frameworks and programming languages.
- Repositories with [example projects](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples) 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](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples/review-apps-nginx/).
- Examples and [other resources](#other-resources) listed below.
## CI/CD examples
The following table lists examples with step-by-step tutorials that are contained in this section:
| Secrets management with Vault | [Authenticating and Reading Secrets With HashiCorp Vault](authenticating-with-hashicorp-vault/index.md). |
### 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:

## CI/CD templates
Get started with GitLab CI/CD and your favorite programming language or framework by using a
- [Android with fastlane (`Android-Fastlane.gitlab-ci.yml`)](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Android-Fastlane.gitlab-ci.yml)
- [iOS with fastlane (`iOS-Fastlane.gitlab-ci.yml`)](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/iOS-Fastlane.gitlab-ci.yml)
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](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates).
### 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](../../user/admin_area/settings/instance_template_repository.md)
that contains examples and templates specific to your organization.
