2.5.1. How to Handle Automation Scripts

The file .gitlab-ci.yml defines the “main” Pipeline for a Project.

It must:

• Be under version control,

• Have a .yml or .yaml extension,

• Reside in the root directory of the repository.

Note

It is possible to run “child” Pipelines, but the “main” Pipeline is always initiated with the .gitlab-ci.yml file.
