The "code" in this case really lives in the Jenkins database, as it's a shell snippet. Admittedly I'm not a fan of this. However, since you're a FOSS company as well, you may have hit the case where you want to separate the code for your infrastructure from the code you're releasing in the general repository, but still build off master.
This is where Jenkins' model is quite good. I strongly dislike that it's so hard for Jenkins' metadata to be versioned in proper git repositories, but the separation of the actual code, and the CI-related code is great.
- sytse 10y agoManual build triggers for GitLab CI are possible with https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/triggers/README.html https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/triggers/README.html In my taste the shell snippet that is infrastructure specific should like in a small repository. An example of that for us is https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks (although that is more process since we try to keep the code generic).
