This documentation provides a detailed step-by-step guide on how CI/CD is deployed within the gitlab-org/coming-soon project. If CI/CD has not yet been set up, further instructions are provided for implementation.

Current CI/CD Status

As of now, there is no CI/CD pipeline configured for the gitlab-org/coming-soon project.

{"message": "No CI/CD pipeline is configured for this project.", "documentation_url": "https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/", "status": "Not Configured"}

Next Steps to Set Up CI/CD

To configure CI/CD for the gitlab-org/coming-soon project, follow the steps below:

  1. Create a .gitlab-ci.yml File

    This is the configuration file that defines the CI/CD pipeline. Create a file named .gitlab-ci.yml in the root directory of the repository.

    Example content for the .gitlab-ci.yml:

    stages: 
      - build
      - test
      - deploy
    
    build_job:
      stage: build
      script: 
        - echo "Building the application..."
        - # commands to build your application
    
    test_job:
      stage: test
      script: 
        - echo "Running tests..."
        - # commands to run your tests
    
    deploy_job:
      stage: deploy
      script: 
        - echo "Deploying to the environment..."
        - # commands to deploy your application
    
  2. Define the Stages

    The pipeline consists of various stages. You can define the stages you need, such as build, test, and deploy.

  3. Add Build Job

    In the build job, include all the necessary commands for compiling or preparing your application. This could involve using build tools or package managers relevant to your stack.

  4. Add Test Job

    Define a test job to run your application’s tests. This can include unit tests, integration tests, or any relevant quality checks.

  5. Add Deployment Job

    The deployment job should handle deploying your application. This could be deployment to cloud services, on-premise servers, or any other hosting solutions you use.

  6. Pipeline Triggers

    You can also set triggers for your pipeline, like automatic deployment on a merge request, or manual triggering of jobs based on your project needs.

  7. Validate the CI/CD Configuration

    After creating your .gitlab-ci.yml, validate the CI/CD configuration by navigating to the CI/CD settings in your GitLab repository. Ensure that the configuration is correct and there are no syntax errors.

  8. Commit and Push Changes

    Finally, commit your changes to the repository:

    git add .gitlab-ci.yml
    git commit -m "Add CI/CD pipeline"
    git push origin main
    
  9. Monitor Pipeline Execution

    Navigate to the CI/CD Pipelines page in GitLab to monitor the execution of your newly defined pipeline.
