-# Build artifacts
-
-Since version 8.2 of GitLab and version 0.7.0 of GitLab Runner, build artifacts
-created by GitLab Runner are uploaded to GitLab, and then you can download
-artifacts archive using GitLab UI.
-
-Since version 8.4 of GitLab and version 1.0 of GitLab Runner artifacts are
-compressed using ZIP format and it is possible to browse content of such an
-archive using GitLab UI, and then download a single file from inside it.
-
-## Artifacts in .gitlab-ci.yml
-
-Please look into `.gitlab-ci.yml` [documentation](../yaml/README.md).
-
-## Artifacts archive format
-
-Prior to version 8.4 of GitLab and 1.0 of GitLab Runner, build artifacts were
-compressed using `tar.gz` format.
-
-Since then, we use a ZIP format.
-
-## How build artifacts are stored
-
-After a successful build, GitLab Runner uploads an archive containing build
-artifacts to GitLab. This archive is not extracted after that, so its save a
-storage space.
-
-## How do we access content of an artifacts archive
-
-When GitLab receives an artifacts archive, archive metadata file is being
-generated. Metadata file describes all entries that are located in artifacts
-archive. This file is in a binary format, with additional GZIP compression.
-
-It is possible then to browse artifacts using GitLab UI and artifacts browser.
-
-TODO IMG
-
-GitLab does not extract artifacts archive to make it possible to browse it. We
-use artifacts metadata file instead that contains are relevant information.
-This is especially important when there is a lot of artifacts, or an archive is
-a very large file.
-
-## How do we make files downloadable
-
-When user clicks a regular file, then download of this particular file starts.
-GitLab does not extract entire artifacts archive to send a single file to user.
-
-Instead of extracting entire file, only one file is being extracted. It is not
-necessary to extract large archive, just to download a small file that is
-inside.
