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.ymltemplate files maintained in GitLab, for many common frameworks and programming languages.- 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.
CI/CD examples
The following table lists examples with step-by-step tutorials that are contained in this section.
Contributing examples
Contributions are welcome! You can help your favorite programming language users and GitLab by sending a merge request with a guide for that language.
CI/CD templates
Get started with GitLab CI/CD and your favorite programming language or framework by using a
.gitlab-ci.yml template.
When you create a gitlab-ci.yml file in the UI, you can
choose one of these templates:
- Android (
Android.gitlab-ci.yml) - Android with fastlane (
Android-Fastlane.gitlab-ci.yml) - Bash (
Bash.gitlab-ci.yml) - C++ (
C++.gitlab-ci.yml) - Chef (
Chef.gitlab-ci.yml) - Clojure (
Clojure.gitlab-ci.yml) - Composer
Composer.gitlab-ci.yml - Crystal (
Crystal.gitlab-ci.yml) - Django (
Django.gitlab-ci.yml) - Docker (
Docker.gitlab-ci.yml) - dotNET (
dotNET.gitlab-ci.yml) - dotNET Core (

If a programming language or framework template is not in this list, you can contribute one. To create a template, submit a merge request to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/tree/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates.
Adding templates to your GitLab installation (PREMIUM ONLY)
You can add custom examples and templates to your self-managed GitLab instance. Your GitLab administrator can designate an instance template repository that contains examples and templates specific to your organization.
