Is it possible to commit artifacts into the git?

GitLab CI/CD

Thanks for the tip! In case you are still looking for a solution, I got this to work using some help from this guide and have an example set up on my GitLab repo.

This is what my .gitlab-ci.yml looks like:

build:
  image: ctornau/latex
  stage: build
  script:
    - latexmk -pdf -pdflatex="xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode" -use-make *.tex
  artifacts:
    when: on_success
    paths:
      - ./*.pdf
    expire_in: 5 min # might not need this if deploy works


deploy:
  stage: deploy
  before_script:
    - 'which ssh-agent || ( apt-get update -qy && apt-get install openssh-client -qqy )'
    - eval `ssh-agent -s`
    - echo "${SSH_PRIVATE_KEY}" | tr -d '\r' | ssh-add - > /dev/null # add ssh ke
    - mkdir -p ~/.ssh
    - chmod 700 ~/.ssh
    - echo "$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY" >> ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
    - '[[ -f /.dockerenv ]] && echo -e "Host *\n\tStrictHostKeyChecking no\n\n" > ~/.ssh/config'
  script:
    - git config --global user.email "${CI_EMAIL}"
    - git config --global user.name "${CI_USERNAME}"
    - git add -f *.pdf # Force add PDF since we .gitignored it
    - git commit -m "Compiled PDF from $CI_COMMIT_SHORT_SHA [skip ci]" || echo "No changes, nothing to commit!"
    - git remote rm origin && git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:$CI_PROJECT_PATH.git
    - git push origin HEAD:$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME # Pushes to the same branch as the trigger
