How can I manage dependencies in GitLab CI?

You can manage dependencies in GitLab CI by using the dependencies keyword in your .gitlab-ci.yml file. This allows you to specify which jobs need to complete before others can start.

Can you give me an example of how to set that up?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

job1:
  script:
    - echo 'This is job 1'

job2:
  dependencies:
    - job1
  script:
    - echo 'This is job 2, which depends on job 1'

What if I have multiple dependencies?

You can list multiple dependencies like this:

job3:
  script:
    - echo 'This is job 3'

job4:
  dependencies:
    - job1
    - job3
  script:
    - echo 'This is job 4, which depends on job 1 and job 3'

Is there a way to cache dependencies?

Yes, you can use the cache keyword to cache dependencies between jobs. This can speed up your CI/CD pipeline.
