GitLab Runner

GitLab Runner is an application that works with GitLab CI/CD to run jobs in a pipeline. A runner is a process that can run on any computer and process pending jobs. A distinction must be made between “shared”, “group” and "project" runners. A specific runner only serves for certain projects, a group runner is dedicated to process only jobs associated to projects in a group, and shared runners are available to all groups and projects in a GitLab instance. You can find available runner type in the project settings Settings -> CI/CD -> Runners.

PLEASE NOTE❗: the offered runners are currently in Beta phase. We are testing the technology behind them and we are going to improve the offer step by step. Our priority is to affect existing users as least as possible, but because we will make changes it is highly possible that some pipeline settings or setups have to be changed over time. We are going to inform in this documentation about needed changes.
