You could now go ahead and upload the contents of this zipfile to your webserver. This file contains the zipped content of the /public directory. (There will be a little cloud icon at the right end of the pipeline entry in GitLab). When you run the pipeline again (by committing this change), you will see that - when processing is complete - the pipeline offers a file to download. The artifacts section tells GitLab to save the contents of the /public directory that we produced.

Change the gitlab-ci.yml to this: pages : stage : build script : - bundle install -path vendor - bundle exec jekyll build -d public artifacts : paths : - public only : - master

To get a hold of them, we need to have GitLab create an artifact. That’s great, but as soon as the process is done, the virtual machine shuts down and the results are gone. Generating an artifactĬurrently, GitLab builds your Jekyll site from source and places the result in the /public directory. You should find a pipeline that is marked as “running”, and you can even click it to see the exact output as it appears. You can see it work when you log into GitLab and visit the CI/CD tab, then Pipelines. If you were to commit this file right now to your GitLab repository, GitLab will immediately see it and start executing this process. We also tell GitLab to process only the master branch, just in case you work with multiple git branches. Next, we tell Jekyll to build our site from source, putting the result in a folder named public.

(You should have a gemfile in your repository already, if you were able to build the Jekyll source on your local machine.) GitLab will download all gems and install them on its virtual machine. First, we have it install the gem bundle that comes with our Jekyll project. Inside the pages block, we have a script section that tells GitLab with steps to take. A stage can have many jobs, but we’ll only need one. Here we have a stage build with a single job pages. Let’s start by creating a stage that builds our Jekyll source: pages : stage : build script : - bundle install -path vendor - bundle exec jekyll build -d public only : - master

You can have a build stage, where GitLab compiles your code (or builds your Jekyll, in our case), and a deploy stage, where you have GitLab copy the build results to your webserver.

Adding a stageĬI/CD processing on GitLab is done in stages. For Jekyll, all we’re going to need is Ruby. There are virtual machines for NodeJS, for PHP, for Ruby, or a combination of these, and much else.

For each build, GitLab is going to launch a special virtual machine, and you get to specify what software should be present on it. The first thing GitLab needs to know is what environment to build your code in. In gitlab-ci.yml (which must live at the root of your repository), start with this: image : ruby:2.6

Without, GitLab’s CI/CD process does nothing. It’s a YAML file that tells GitLab which steps to take whenever you commit new code. In order to get CI/CD to work for you, you’ll need to add a file to your Jekyll codebase: gitlab-ci.yml. Builds and tests can fail, and GitLab will let you know with an email, if you like. In a nutshell, whenever you commit some code, a process on GitLab launches that builds that code, tests it, and even deploys it - according to your specifications. GitLabs offers Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment. But there’s more: it also comes with a set of tools that can build and deploy your code (that is, your website) every time you commit a change to the git repository.

GitLab has the advantage that it allows you to create private repositories, free of charge. It’s always a good idea to put your code in a git repository, and store it with a service like GitHub or GitLab. Wouldn’t it be nice if that were automated?Įnter GitLabs Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). Still, having to upload the whole site through FTP every time takes a lot of work. Writing content for Jekyll is also a snap: just create some markdown, build and check your site, and you’re ready to upload. It churns out pure HTML (possibly enriched with 3rd party APIs like Disqus), so it’s fairly hackproof – unlike, say, WordPress. Jekyll is a fantastic tool to develop fast, reliable websites.
