Do you have experience using GitLab CI for automating CI/CD processes?

Yes, GitLab CI is an integrated tool within GitLab for automating CI/CD processes (continuous integration and delivery). It allows you to define pipelines in a .gitlab-ci.yml file, where you can specify build, test, and deployment stages.

Experience includes:

• Creating and configuring .gitlab-ci.yml with the necessary stages.
• Running tests automatically on repository push.
• Automatic deployment to a server or cloud.
• Using various runners (shared or custom).

A simple example of .gitlab-ci.yml:

stages:
  - build
  - test

build_job:
  stage: build
  script:
    - echo "Building the project"

test_job:
  stage: test
  script:
    - echo "Running tests"

This speeds up the development process and improves code quality through automation.
