Generate a GitLab CI pipeline

GitLab CI/CD runs automated pipelines defined in a .gitlab-ci.yml file at the root of your repository. This generator produces a working pipeline from a Docker image and your chosen stages, build, test and deploy. It defines the stages in order, creates a job for each with your commands, passes build artifacts to later stages, and restricts the deploy job to the main branch, reflecting common best practice.

Pipelines automate building, testing and deploying every time you push code, catching problems early.

Continuous integration made simple

A good CI pipeline gives fast feedback: it builds your project, runs the tests, and only deploys when everything passes. Defining it as code in the repository means the pipeline is versioned alongside your application and reviewed like any other change. Starting from a sensible template saves time and avoids common mistakes in stage ordering and artifact passing.

This is a starting point; add caching, environment variables, deployment credentials and rules as your pipeline matures. Review the YAML and commit it as .gitlab-ci.yml. All generation happens locally in your browser.

Notes on the output

Because the gitlab ci generator runs entirely in your browser, you can adjust every option and see the generated output update instantly, with nothing uploaded and no sign-up needed. The result is clean, standard configuration you can paste straight into your project and refine by hand, and because the processing is local, even sensitive values stay private on your own machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is .gitlab-ci.yml?

It is the file at the root of a repository that defines a GitLab CI/CD pipeline, including its stages and jobs.

What are stages and jobs?

Stages run in order, such as build then test then deploy, and each stage contains one or more jobs that run its commands.

Why restrict deploy to the main branch?

Deploying only from main prevents feature branches from deploying to production, a common and safer convention.

How are artifacts used?

The build job saves output as artifacts, which later stages like test or deploy can reuse without rebuilding.
