# GitLab Continuous Integration (GitLab CI)
The benefits of Continuous Integration are huge when automation plays an
integral part of your workflow. GitLab comes with built-in Continuous
Integration, Continuous Deployment, and Continuous Delivery support to build,
test, and deploy your application.
Here's some info we've gathered to get you started.
## Getting started
The first steps towards your GitLab CI journey.
- [Getting started with GitLab CI](quick_start/README.md)
- [Pipelines and jobs](pipelines.md)
- [Configure a Runner, the application that runs your jobs](runners/README.md)
- **Articles:**
- [Getting started with GitLab and GitLab CI - Intro to CI](https://about.gitlab.com/2015/12/14/getting-started-with-gitlab-and-gitlab-ci/)
- [Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment with GitLab - Intro to CI/CD](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/08/05/continuous-integration-delivery-and-deployment-with-gitlab/)
- [GitLab CI: Run jobs sequentially, in parallel, or build a custom pipeline](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/07/29/the-basics-of-gitlab-ci/)
- [Setting up GitLab Runner For Continuous Integration](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/03/01/gitlab-runner-with-docker/)
- [GitLab CI: Deployment & environments](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/08/26/ci-deployment-and-environments/)
- **Videos:**
- [Demo (March, 2017): how to get started using CI/CD with GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/03/13/ci-cd-demo/)
- [Webcast (April, 2016): getting started with CI in GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/04/20/webcast-recording-and-slides-introduction-to-ci-in-gitlab/)
- **Third-party videos:**
- [Intégration continue avec GitLab (September, 2016)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URcMBXjIr24&t=13s)
- [GitLab CI for Minecraft Plugins (July, 2016)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4pcI9F8yf8)
## Reference guides
Once you get familiar with the getting started guides, you'll find yourself
digging into specific reference guides.
- [`.gitlab-ci.yml` reference](yaml/README.md) - Learn all about the ins and
outs of `.gitlab-ci.yml` definitions
- [CI Variables](variables/README.md) - Learn how to use variables defined in
your `.gitlab-ci.yml` or secured ones defined in your project's settings
- **The permissions model** - Learn about the access levels a user can have for
performing certain CI actions
- [User permissions](../user/permissions.md#gitlab-ci)
- [Jobs permissions](../user/permissions.md#jobs-permissions)
## GitLab CI + Docker
Leverage the power of Docker to run your CI pipelines.
- [Use Docker images with GitLab Runner](docker/using_docker_images.md)
- [Use CI to build Docker images](docker/using_docker_build.md)
- [CI services (linked Docker containers)](services/README.md)
- **Articles:**
- [Setting up GitLab Runner For Continuous Integration](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/03/01/gitlab-runner-with-docker/)
## Advanced use
Once you get familiar with the basics of GitLab CI, it's time to dive in and
learn how to leverage its potential even more.
- [Environments and deployments](environments.md) - Separate your jobs into
environments and use them for different purposes like testing, building and
deploying
- [Job artifacts](../user/project/pipelines/job_artifacts.md)
- [Git submodules](git_submodules.md) - How to run your CI jobs when Git
submodules are involved
- [Auto deploy](autodeploy/index.md)
- [Use SSH keys in your build environment](ssh_keys/README.md)
- [Trigger jobs through the GitLab API](triggers/README.md)
## Review Apps
- [Review Apps](review_apps/index.md)
- **Articles:**
- [Introducing Review Apps](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/11/22/introducing-review-apps/)
- [Example project that shows how to use Review Apps](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples/review-apps-nginx/)
## GitLab CI for GitLab Pages
See the topic on [GitLab Pages](../user/project/pages/index.md).
## Special configuration
You can change the default behavior of GitLab CI in your whole GitLab instance
as well as in each project.
- **Project specific**
- [CI/CD pipelines settings](../user/project/pipelines/settings.md)
- [Learn how to enable or disable GitLab CI](enable_or_disable_ci.md)
- **Affecting the whole GitLab instance**
- [Continuous Integration admin settings](../user/admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md)
## Examples
>**Note:**
A collection of `.gitlab-ci.yml` files is maintained at the
[GitLab CI Yml project][gitlab-ci-templates].
If your favorite programming language or framework is missing we would love
your help by sending a merge request with a `.gitlab-ci.yml`.
Here is an collection of tutorials and guides on setting up your CI pipeline.
- [GitLab CI examples](examples/README.md) for the following languages and frameworks:
- [PHP](examples/php.md)
- [Ruby](examples/test-and-deploy-ruby-application-to-heroku.md)
