About:
GitlabCiLinter is a command-line utility designed to validate GitLab CI/CD configuration files against the GitLab API. It ensures that .gitlab-ci.yml files are syntactically correct and adhere to project-specific rules before pushing changes. This helps prevent pipeline failures and reduces debugging time by catching configuration errors early in the development workflow.
Key Features:
  • Validates YAML syntax and GitLab CI schema
  • Provides detailed error messages for quick fixes
  • Supports local file validation via API integration
  • Lightweight and easy to integrate into pre-commit hooks
Use Cases:
  • Pre-push validation to ensure CI configuration correctness
  • Integration into CI pipelines for self-validation
  • IDE or editor plugin for real-time linting feedback
Alternatives:
  • gitlab-ci-local – Simulates pipelines locally; focuses on execution rather than pure linting
  • yamllint – General YAML linter; lacks GitLab CI-specific schema validation
