Setup Git for CICD
Step 1: Create a account in Gitlab using email address. We can use free as well. Provide a repository name with permission.

Step 2: Clone the repository with SSH which helps to edit the code easily using different IDE.
git clone git@gitlab.com......
Step 3: Open the folder in VS code and starting writng a script in .gitlab-ci.yml. In the following script I am using docker to build a CI/CD pipeline. In order to use a docker we need to have docker in docker hub and create a Dockerfile folder. Include image with version and mention port number in dockerfile.
Stages:
- test
- build
- stg
- production
test artifacts:
stage: test
image: python:3.9-slim-buster
before_script:
- apt-get update && apt-get install make
script:
- mkdir /data
- cd /data
- touch rajan.txt
- echo "Rajan Silwal" > rajan.txt
build the car:
stage: build
image: docker:20.10
services:
- docker::20.10-dind
variables:
DOCKER_TLS_CERTFIR: "/certs"
before_script:
- docker login -u $REGISTRY_USER -p $REGISTRY_PASS
script:
- docker build -f Dockerfile -t rajansilwal04/cicd:python-app-1.0 .
- docker push rajansilwal04/cicd:python-app-1.0
testing staging:
stage: stg
image: python:3.9-slim-buster
before_script:
- apt-get update && apt-get install make
script:
- mkdir /data
- cd /data
- touch rajan.txt
- echo "Rajan Silwal" > rajan.txt
Production:
stage: production
image: python:3.9-slim-buster
before_script:
- apt-get update && apt-get install make
script:
- mkdir /data
- cd /data
- touch rajan.txt
- echo "Rajan Silwal" > rajan.txt
Step 4: Once you done with your code you can commit and push into a git. It will automatically start running CICD pipeline in gitlab. We can see the pipeline under CICD menu.

If you want to see the log of pipeline, We can see that logs under jobs.
