Hello, I am learning to setup a CI pipeline in Gitlab (v12.3.5) using Gitlab-runner. It is working OK so far, but I notice the builds directory is filling up quite fast. My current .gitlab-ci.yaml file looks like this:
What would be an ideal way to cleanup the build directories so I don’t run out disk space. I did some searches and it seems like one solution is this: https://gitlab.com/snippets/1729438. But it involves setting up a cron job. The post looks over a year old. So I am wondering if there is a better (built-in?) way? Thank you.
