Setup .gitlab-ci.yml

Create a .gitlab-ci.yml with following content and put it as ece100/root/a0/starter/.gitlab-ci.yml.

(A sample file is config/sample.gitlab-ci.yml)

welcome:
  stage: build
  image: ubuntu:latest
  script:
    - echo "Hello, $GITLAB_USER_LOGIN!"

check:
  stage: test
  image: ubuntu:latest
  before_script:
    - apt-get update
    - apt-get install -y git
  script:
    - echo "Fetching feedback scripts ..."
    - git clone https://oauth2:<ACCESS_TOKEN>@git.uwaterloo.ca/<COURSE>/root/a0/assessment
    - echo "Setting up runtime environment ..."
    - echo "Generating feedback ..."
    - echo "The files under assessment/ are:"
    - ls assessment/
    - echo "Done"

Replace <ACCESS_TOKEN> to your personal access token for now. (NOTE: THIS IS HIGHLY UNSAFE)

We will make it more secure afterwards.

Finally, git add, git commit, and git push.

git add .gitlab-ci.yml
git commit -m 'try sample ci'
git push --set-upstream origin main

For this commit and all subsequent commits, the pipeline will be triggered, and GitLab will refer to the .gitlab-ci.yml file to execute the pipeline.

The pipeline status can be checked on the web interface or via the command line using glab ci trace.
