# 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](yaml/README.md#jobs).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 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.
