GitLab CI/CD Examples

This page contains links to a variety of examples that can help you understand 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 start using CI/CD with your project quickly. 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. Projects include demonstrations of multi-project pipelines and using Review Apps with a static site served by NGINX.
• Examples and other resources listed below.

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.
