+### GitLab Deploy Token
+
+> [Introduced][ce-18414] in GitLab 10.8.
+
+There's a special case when it comes to Deploy Tokens, if a user creates one
+named `gitlab-deploy-token`, the name and token of the Deploy Token will be 
+automatically exposed to the CI/CD jobs as environment variables: `CI_DEPLOY_USER` and 
+`CI_DEPLOY_PASSWORD`, respectively.
