Auto DevOps development guide

This document provides a development guide for contributors to Auto DevOps.

An Auto DevOps technical walk-through is also available on YouTube.

Development

Auto DevOps builds on top of GitLab CI/CD to create an automatic pipeline based on your project contents. When Auto DevOps is enabled for a project, the user does not need to explicitly include any pipeline configuration through a .gitlab-ci.yml file.

In the absence of a .gitlab-ci.yml file, the Auto DevOps CI template is used implicitly to configure the pipeline for the project. This template is a top-level template that includes other sub-templates, which then defines jobs.

Some jobs use images that are built from external projects:

There are extra variables that get passed to the CI jobs when Auto DevOps is enabled that are not present in a normal CI job. These can be found in ProjectAutoDevops.
