What are the best practices for using GitLab templates?

Best practices for GitLab templates include keeping them simple, using variables for customization, and maintaining version control.

Can you give me an example of a simple GitLab CI template?

Sure! A simple GitLab CI template might look like this:

stages:
  - build
  - test

build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - echo "Building..."

test:
  stage: test
  script:
    - echo "Running tests..."

How can I customize these templates for my project?

You can customize templates by using predefined variables, adding specific scripts, or modifying stages to fit your project's needs.

What should I avoid when creating GitLab templates?

Avoid hardcoding values, overcomplicating the structure, and neglecting documentation for your templates.
