About GitLab CI Generator

Generate a working .gitlab-ci.yml for Node.js, Python, Go, Java, PHP, Ruby, Rust or a static site. Produces the modern idioms GitLab recommends - needs: for a DAG pipeline, extends: for shared cache config, rules: instead of the deprecated only/except - with lockfile-keyed caching, JUnit reports and a manual production gate.

Key Features

Eight stacks with correct default image, install, lint, test and build commands for each
Lockfile-keyed dependency cache with pull-only policy on downstream jobs, so parallel jobs do not fight over the cache
needs: relationships that turn the pipeline into a DAG rather than blocking on whole stages
Docker-in-Docker build that pushes to the project's own GitLab registry using the built-in CI_REGISTRY variables
Deploy via placeholder script, rsync over SSH, kubectl rollout or GitLab Pages, with staging automatic and production behind when: manual
Optional PostgreSQL service wired into the test job with a ready DATABASE_URL

Use Cases

Bootstrapping CI for a new repository without copying a stale template from another project
Migrating a pipeline off the deprecated only/except syntax onto rules:
Adding a lockfile-keyed cache to a pipeline that reinstalls dependencies on every job
Setting up a manual production deployment gate with a tracked GitLab environment
