It's pretty common in developer workflow to have staging (development) and production environment.
If we consider above example: we would like to deploy `master` branch to `staging` and `all tags` to `production` environment.
The final `.gitlab-ci.yml` for that setup would look like this:

+Secure Variables can added by going to `Project > Variables > Add Variable`.
The variables that are defined in the project settings are sent along with the build script to the runner.
The secure variables are stored out of the repository. Never store secrets in your projects' .gitlab-ci.yml.
It is also important that secret's value is hidden in the job log.
You access added variable by prefixing it's name with `$` (on non-Windows runners) or `%` (for Windows Batch runners):
