Using GitLab CI/CD to Test Your Code

GitLab has a built-in CI/CD tool called GitLab CI/CD.

In order to use GitLab CI/CD, you'll need a GitLab account.

To interact with Git repositories hosted on GitLab, you'll also need to associate an SSH key from your machine and to your GitLab account.

Note

Instructions to add an SSH key in the GitLab documentation can be found at https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-basics/create-your-ssh-keys.html.

Once you've created an account, you can create a new repository using the New Project button at the top right of the Projects page, as shown in the following screenshot:
