Recipes: Continuous Integration on GitLab
Continuous Integration works by pushing small code chunks to your application’s code base hosted in a Git repository, and, to every push, run a pipeline of scripts to build, test, and validate the code changes before merging them into the main branch. This recipe helps you set up CI/CD on GitLab and automate your production build!.
