GitLab CI used to be a separate software component but is now firmly integrated into the GitLab backend.

There are three options to configure in the gitlab.yml:

• all_broken_builds: Only send an email if a build broke.
• add_pusher: Also, add the user pushing the last version of the repository to the recipient list.

• builds_path: The location where the build traces are stored.

gitlab_ci:
 all_broken_builds: true
 add_pusher: true
 builds_path: builds/

Further configuration of GitLab CI is done from the web interface as you have seen in the previous chapter.
