GitLab CI
In plain terms
GitLab's built-in continuous integration and delivery system.
Going deeper
GitLab CI defines pipelines in a YAML file within the repo, tightly integrated with GitLab's source control and DevOps features. It's CI/CD bundled with the platform.
Under the hood
Runners execute jobs; integration with merge requests and the full DevOps platform is a key draw.
Examples
.gitlab-ci.yml pipelines, merge-request checks, integrated DevOps.
Think of it like...
Like a CI assembly line built right into your code's home.
