A CLI tool that runs GitLab CI pipelines locally using shell or Docker executors, so developers can test .gitlab-ci.yml without pushing to GitLab. It is written in TypeScript and distributed via npm.

Use cases

• test gitlab ci pipeline locally
• run .gitlab-ci.yml jobs without pushing
• debug gitlab ci jobs on my machine
• replace dev shell scripts and makefiles with gitlab ci
• run gitlab pipeline with docker executor locally
• iterate on ci config before committing

When to choose

• you use GitLab CI and want fast local feedback on pipeline changes
• you want to debug failing CI jobs without push cycles
• you want to consolidate dev scripts into .gitlab-ci.yml

When to avoid

• you use GitHub Actions or another CI system
• you need full parity with GitLab's hosted runners and services
• your pipeline depends on GitLab-only features like protected variables or cluster runners
