CI/CD for external repo you don't control

GitLab CI/CD
1

I have a situation where I need to set up a CI/CD project in our Gitlab which is pointing to an external git repo which we do not control. The intent is to do a build when the external repo is updated. Given that we cannot put a .gitlab-ci file in the external repo, how do we handle configuring the build? Thanks.

Our way was:

  • setup GitLab project to automatically sync from the origin in GitHub
  • create a branch from the tag you want to build
  • in this branch add .gitlab-ci.yml
