-## Why `.gitlab-ci.yml`
-
-By placing a single configuration file in the root of your repository,
-it is version controlled and you get all the advantages of git.
-
-In addition, builds for older versions of the repository will work just fine,
-as GitLab look at the `.gitlab-ci.yml` of the pushed commit.
-This means that forks also build without any problem.

-You can even set up different builds for different branches. This allows you
