GitLab CI-CD Push to Repository

On gitlab-runner push changes to repository.

We assume that accessing repository with HTTPS method.

1. Add Personal Access Token (PAT) for Project

Ensure this token have the authority write_repository.

2. Add Variable to Project

We assume that the variable name is GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN, and value is the token created in first step.

3. Construct your .gitlab-ci.yml

Update git url with proper authority: git remote set-url origin "https://${GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN}@gitlab.com/${CI_PROJECT_PATH}.git"

The .gitlab-ci.yml looks like: 

stages:
  - build
  - deploy

build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - echo "Building your application..."

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  before_script:
    - git remote set-url origin "https://${GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN}@gitlab.com/${CI_PROJECT_PATH}.git"
  script:
    - echo "Deploying your application..."
    - git add .
    - git commit -m "Automated commit by GitLab CI/CD"
    - git push origin
