What are some examples of GitLab CI jobs?

GitLab CI jobs are defined in the .gitlab-ci.yml file. For example, you can have a job that runs tests, builds your application, or deploys it. Would you like to see specific examples?

Yes, please provide a few specific examples.

Sure! Here are a few examples:

1. A job to run unit tests:

   test:
     script:
       - npm install
       - npm test
   

2. A job to build a Docker image:

   build:
     script:
       - docker build -t my-image:latest .
   

3. A job to deploy to a server:

   deploy:
     script:
       - ssh user@server 'docker pull my-image:latest && docker run my-image'
   

Would you like more details on any of these?

Can you explain the deployment job in more detail?

Of course! The deployment job typically involves connecting to a server via SSH, pulling the latest Docker image, and running it. You can customize the script to include environment variables, handle errors, or even notify you upon success or failure. Would you like to know how to set up SSH keys for secure access?
