# GitLab CI Template Library

Creates reusable GitLab CI/CD template libraries using include:template and extends keywords. Manages pipeline configurations with rules:changes path filtering, needs DAG dependencies, and Auto DevOps customization via CI/CD variables.

## Installation

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- Please see the [requirements documentation](doc/install/requirements.md) for system requirements and more information about the supported operating systems.
- The recommended way to install GitLab is with the [Omnibus packages](https://docs.gitlab.com/install/package/) on our package server.
- Compared to [a self-compiled installation](https://docs.gitlab.com/install/self_compiled/), this is faster and less error prone.
