Re: [cbi-dev] Jenkins and GitLab

[Frederic Gurr <frederic.gurr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We are still in the process of finding out what the best workflows are
and did not have a lot of feedback from the few projects that use GitLab
and Jenkins already. I will try to add a few notes and pointers to the
wiki over the next days.

Thanks for being on the forefront and sharing the knowledge.

1. I will setup a webhook on the GitLab side that triggers on pushes,
merge requests, etc.

2. I will look into it.

Regards,

Fred
