# GitLab CI Stuff ## Overview This template provides a jobs to validate your template syntax. It uses the [GitLab CI Lint API](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/lint.html). ## Template validation The template implements a `gitlab-ci-lint` job, enabled with `GITLAB_CI_FILES` variable (GitLab CI files pattern(s) to analyse). Example of a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for a GitLab CI template project: ```yaml include: - project: 'to-be-continuous/tools/gitlab-ci' ref: 'master' file: '/templates/validation.yml' stages: - build variables: GITLAB_CI_FILES: "templates/*.yml" ```
