![CI/CD pipeline graph](img/cicd_pipeline_infograph.png)
The benefits of Continuous Integration are huge when automation plays an
integral part of your workflow. GitLab comes with built-in Continuous
Integration, Continuous Deployment, and Continuous Delivery support to build,
test, and deploy your application.
Here's some info we've gathered to get you started.
## Getting started
The first steps towards your GitLab CI journey.
- [Getting started with GitLab CI](quick_start/README.md)
- [CI examples for various languages](examples/README.md)
- [Learn how to enable or disable GitLab CI](enable_or_disable_ci.md)
- [Pipelines and jobs](pipelines.md)
- [Environments and deployments](environments.md)
- [Learn how `.gitlab-ci.yml` works](yaml/README.md)
- [Configure a Runner, the application that runs your jobs](runners/README.md)
- [Use Docker images with GitLab Runner](docker/using_docker_images.md)
- [Use CI to build Docker images](docker/using_docker_build.md)
- **Articles:**
- [Getting started with GitLab and GitLab CI - Intro to CI](https://about.gitlab.com/2015/12/14/getting-started-with-gitlab-and-gitlab-ci/)
- [Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment with GitLab - Intro to CI/CD](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/08/05/continuous-integration-delivery-and-deployment-with-gitlab/)

- [GitLab CI for Minecraft Plugins (July, 2016)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4pcI9F8yf8)
## Reference guides
Once you get familiar with the getting started guides, you'll find yourself
digging into specific reference guides.
- [`.gitlab-ci.yml` reference](yaml/README.md) - Learn all about the ins and
outs of `.gitlab-ci.yml` definitions
- [CI Variables](variables/README.md) - Learn how to use variables defined in
your `.gitlab-ci.yml` or secured ones defined in your project's settings
- [Use SSH keys in your build environment](ssh_keys/README.md)
- [Trigger jobs through the API](triggers/README.md)
- **The permissions model** - Learn about the access levels a user can have for
performing certain CI actions
- [User permissions](../user/permissions.md#gitlab-ci)
- [Jobs permissions](../user/permissions.md#jobs-permissions)
## GitLab CI + Docker
Leverage the power of Docker to run your CI pipelines.
- [Use Docker images with GitLab Runner](docker/using_docker_images.md)
- [Use CI to build Docker images](docker/using_docker_build.md)
- [CI services (linked Docker containers)](services/README.md)
- **Articles:**
- [Setting up GitLab Runner For Continuous Integration](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/03/01/gitlab-runner-with-docker/)
## Advanced use
Once you get familiar with the basics of GitLab CI, it's time to dive in and
learn how to leverage its potential even more.

environments and use them for different purposes like testing, building and
deploying

## GitLab CI for GitLab Pages
See the topic on [GitLab Pages](../user/project/pages/index.md).
## Special configuration
You can change the default behavior of GitLab CI in your whole GitLab instance
as well as in each project.
