# Configuration of your pipelines with .gitlab-ci.yml # GitLab CI/CD Pipeline Configuration Reference
This document describes the usage of `.gitlab-ci.yml`, the file that is used by GitLab CI/CD [pipelines](../pipelines.md) are configured using a YAML file called `.gitlab-ci.yml` within each project.
GitLab Runner to manage your project's pipelines.
From version 7.12, GitLab CI uses a [YAML](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML) The `.gitlab-ci.yml` file defines the structure and order of the pipelines and determines:
file (`.gitlab-ci.yml`) for the project configuration. It is placed in the root
of your repository and contains definitions of how your project should be built.
If you want a quick introduction to GitLab CI, follow our - What to execute using [GitLab Runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/).
[quick start guide](../quick_start/README.md). - What decisions to make when specific conditions are encountered. For example, when a process succeeds or fails.
This topic covers CI/CD pipeline configuration. For other CI/CD configuration information, see:

## Jobs ## Introduction
Pipeline configuration begins with jobs. Jobs are the most fundamental element of a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.

### Validate the .gitlab-ci.yml
Each instance of GitLab CI has an embedded debug tool called Lint, which validates the
content of your `.gitlab-ci.yml` files. You can find the Lint under the page `ci/lint` of your
project namespace. For example, `http://gitlab.example.com/gitlab-org/project-123/-/ci/lint`.

## Parameter details
The following are detailed explanations for parameters used to configure CI/CD pipelines.
### `script`
`script` is the only required keyword that a job needs. It's a shell script
which is executed by the Runner. For example:
```yaml
job:
script: "bundle exec rspec"
```
This parameter can also contain several commands using an array:
```yaml
job:
script:
- uname -a
- bundle exec rspec
```
NOTE: **Note:**
Sometimes, `script` commands will need to be wrapped in single or double quotes.
For example, commands that contain a colon (`:`) need to be wrapped in quotes so
that the YAML parser knows to interpret the whole thing as a string rather than
a "key: value" pair. Be careful when using special characters:
`:`, `{`, `}`, `[`, `]`, `,`, `&`, `*`, `#`, `?`, `|`, `-`, `<`, `>`, `=`, `!`, `%`, `@`, `` ` ``.
### `image`
Used to specify [a Docker image](../docker/using_docker_images.md#what-is-an-image) to use for the job.
For:
- Simple definition examples, see [Define `image` and `services` from .gitlab-ci.yml](../docker/using_docker_images.md#define-image-and-services-from-gitlab-ciyml).
- Detailed usage information, refer to [Docker integration](../docker/README.md) documentation.

An [extended docker configuration option](../docker/using_docker_images.md#extended-docker-configuration-options).
For more information, see [Available settings for `image`](../docker/using_docker_images.md#available-settings-for-image).
### `services`
Used to specify a [service Docker image](../docker/using_docker_images.md#what-is-a-service), linked to a base image specified in [`image`](#image).
For:
- Simple definition examples, see [Define `image` and `services` from .gitlab-ci.yml](../docker/using_docker_images.md#define-image-and-services-from-gitlab-ciyml).
- Detailed usage information, refer to [Docker integration](../docker/README.md) documentation.
- For example services, see [GitLab CI Services](../services/README.md).

## `include` ### `trigger` **[PREMIUM]**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/8997) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.8.
`trigger` allows you to define downstream pipeline trigger. When a job created
from `trigger` definition is started by GitLab, a downstream pipeline gets
created.
Learn more about [multi-project pipelines](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/multi_project_pipelines.html#creating-cross-project-pipelines-from-gitlab-ci-yml).
#### Simple `trigger` syntax
The most simple way to configure a downstream trigger to use `trigger` keyword
with a full path to a downstream project:
```yaml
rspec:
stage: test
script: bundle exec rspec
staging:
stage: deploy
trigger: my/deployment
```
#### Complex `trigger` syntax
It is possible to configure a branch name that GitLab will use to create
a downstream pipeline with:
```yaml
rspec:
stage: test
script: bundle exec rspec
staging:
stage: deploy
trigger:
project: my/deployment
branch: stable
```

## Validate the .gitlab-ci.yml
Each instance of GitLab CI has an embedded debug tool called Lint, which validates the
content of your `.gitlab-ci.yml` files. You can find the Lint under the page `ci/lint` of your
project namespace (e.g, `http://gitlab-example.com/gitlab-org/project-123/-/ci/lint`)
## Using reserved keywords
If you get validation error when using specific values (e.g., `true` or `false`),
try to quote them, or change them to a different form (e.g., `/bin/true`).
## Examples
See a [list of examples](../examples/README.md "CI/CD examples") for using
GitLab CI/CD with various languages.
