# GitLab Continuous Integration (GitLab CI)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The benefits of Continuous Integration are huge when automation plays an
|
|
integral part of your workflow. GitLab comes with built-in Continuous
|
|
Integration, Continuous Deployment, and Continuous Delivery support to build,
|
|
test, and deploy your application.
|
|
|
|
Here's some info we've gathered to get you started.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
The first steps towards your GitLab CI journey.

|
|
outs of `.gitlab-ci.yml` definitions
