together nicely with GitLab CI/CD, which is the result of lessons learned while making [Dark Nova](http://darknova.io/).
Using a combination of free and open source software, we have a full CI/CD pipeline, a game foundation,
and unit tests, all running and deployed at every push to master - with shockingly little code.
