Overview

Continuous Integration (CI) is a software development practice that has revolutionized how teams build and deliver software.

At its core, CI involves frequently integrating code changes into a shared repository, typically several times a day.

Each integration is verified by an automated build and test process, allowing teams to detect and address issues early in the development cycle.

Continuous Integration is a development practice where team members frequently integrate their work, often daily, resulting in multiple integrations per day.

Test Job Commands Locally

Before running job commands in GitLab, it’s beneficial to perform local tests. This approach offers several advantages:

Detect and correct issues more efficiently.
Minimize the chances of unexpected problems in GitLab.

By focusing on local testing, you can ensure a smoother operation when implementing commands in the GitLab environment. If you need external services to run tests, you can use docker-compose on your local environnement.
