← All GitLab CI questions
Re-explain
A GitLab CI pipeline consists of several key components:
- Pipeline: The top-level component containing the entire CI/CD process
- Stages: Logical groupings that run sequentially (e.g., build, test, deploy)
- Jobs: Individual tasks within stages that can run in parallel
- Scripts: Commands executed within jobs
- Runners: Agents that execute the jobs
Example structure:
stages:
- build
- test
- deploy
build-job:
stage: build
script:
- echo "Building application"
test-job:
stage: test
script:
- echo "Running tests"
