Cloud Native CI/CD with GitLab

Displaying Artifacts in the Merge Request UI

When you have a merge request, you can display the artifacts generated by the pipeline in the merge request UI with a custom name. This is done using the expose_as keyword. In the following example, we will create a new branch, add the expose_as keyword to the flake8.txt artifact, and push the changes to the remote repository:

# Create a new branch
git checkout -b feature/testing-artifacts

Change the .gitlab-ci.yml file as follows and add the expose_as keyword:

cat <$HOME/todo/app/.gitlab-ci.yml && \
cd $HOME/todo/app && \
git add . && \
git commit -m "Add expose_as" && \
git push origin feature/testing-artifacts
