Kas on Runner GitLab CI/CD kontekstis ja kuidas seda kasutatakse?

Runner in GitLab CI/CD is an agent that executes tasks (jobs) from the pipeline. It runs scripts described in the .gitlab-ci.yml file on a specific machine or in a container.

A Runner can be:

• Shared (for multiple projects)
• Specific (assigned to a particular project)

Using a Runner allows automating the build, testing, and deployment of code. For example, you can configure a Runner on a server with the necessary environment, and with each commit to the repository, it will automatically run tests and build the project.
