About GitLab CI/CD
GitLab's built-in continuous integration and delivery system for automating build, test, and deployment pipelines.
GitLab CI/CD is the pipeline automation layer built directly into GitLab, allowing teams to define build, test, security scan, and deployment workflows in a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file stored alongside their code. It supports runners on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and works with self-hosted GitLab instances as well as GitLab.com. It is aimed at development teams that want integrated source control and pipeline management without connecting a separate CI service.
Where to start
Add a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file to the root of your GitLab repository to define your pipeline stages and jobs. GitLab's documentation covers the configuration syntax, available runner executors, and how to register your own runners.
