Hello !
I am a French engineer specialized in DevSecOps culture, sorry in advance for English. My Ops who maintain Gitlab Infra tell me that Gitlab will no longer support “Templates” in the future, including local templates. I’m not sure and couldn’t find any information about it in the feature changelog. Do you have more information for me?
They told me to migrate to the component but I used “include” with the keyword “local”
Have a nice day !
Templates remain part of the CI/CD configuration language. Components are a new way of creating and maintaining reusable CI/CD configuration, and are recommended for future use. Together with inputs, default values, and the components catalog, components surpass limitations with templates.
Check the demos and getting started guides in CI/CD components | GitLab Docs and FAQ in FAQ: GitLab CI/CD Catalog
Thanks @dnsmichi , I meant I use the keyword “local” and not templates, my company Gitlab admin said it will be removed in the future but I’m not sure
I don’t see include:local being deprecated in Deprecations and removals by version | GitLab Docs and CI/CD YAML syntax reference | GitLab Docs Open issues only refer to improving usage as far as I can see, include local · Search · GitLab
At GitLab, we also use include:local in CI/CD pipelines. local file:ci.yml · Search · GitLab
Maybe ask your admin where they heard about it, and link the resources here, so we can investigate and clarify.
