Kicker
What is it?
Kicker is an interactive wizard tool that helps users generate their .gitlab-ci.yml
file simply by specifying the characteristics of their project
(programming language(s), code analysis tools, packaging, hosting & deployment technology, acceptance tests, ...).
How does it work?
Kicker is a single-page webapp (Angular) that loads a JSON file that describes:
- all available templates,
- with their latest published version (Git tag),
- with all jobs and configuration variables,
- all available template variants,
- all available variable presets.
This file is dynamically built in the doc
project (scheduled pipeline), by crawling every to-be-continuous
sub-project, looking for
kicker.json
or kicker-extras.json
files and aggregating them into one single JSON file.
-
kicker.json
files are meant to fully declare a template (with jobs and configuration). It should comply to kicker-schema-1.json schema. -
kicker-extras.json
files are meant to declare variable presets and/or template variants. It should comply to kicker-extras-schema-1.json schema.
For more information about variable presets and template variants, see Self-managed GitLab > Advanced Usage doc.
