====== CI/CD with GitLab ======
----

  - create a ''.gitlab-ci.yml'' - I usually do this via web interface. An example is included below
  - ''brew install gitlab-runner'' install gitlab runner - can usually be done via package manager on system
  - ''gitlab-runner register'' register gitlab-runner
    - ''https://gitlab.com'' enter the url for gitlab repo. If not self hosting it will just be gitlab.com
    - ''<Token>'' enter the token for repo. Found under Settings > CI/CD > Runners > Set up Specific Runner Manually
    - ''Description of project''
    - ''tagone,tagtwo'' more on this to come later
  - ''gitlab-runner start''
  - ''gitlab-runner status''
    * if status does not show running, need to troubleshoot. On Mac check logs via ''syslog''
  - Now when you make commits that match the given tags or branches the commands in .gitlab-ci.yml will run
  * Notes
    * Without configuring the runner it will create a ''build'' directory in project root so ensure that is added to .gitignore

<file yaml .gitlab-ci.yml>
