The Code Studio pipeline is ready-for-use and out-of-the-box. However, it is also customizable to fit the needs of different projects.

You can use environment variables to:

Override default values of the CI/CD pipeline
Enable or disable specific jobs
Set custom or specific parameters for the CI/CD pipeline
For example, you can set an environment variable so that the pipeline is aware of the PHP version in your repository.

Adding environment variables¶

Click Settings > CI/CD.
In the Variables section, click Expand and then click Add variable.
In the Add variable dialog box, specify the appropriate value in each field.
Click Add variable.

You can also add environment variables through the .gitlab-ci.yml file.

For example:

include:
  - project: 'acquia/standard-template'
    file:
     - '/gitlab-ci/Auto-DevOps.acquia.gitlab-ci.yml'
variables:
  - ACQUIA_JOBS_CREATE_CDE: "true"

Modifying environment variables¶

Click Settings > CI/CD.
In the Variables section, click Expand and then click the pencil icon next to the environment variable that you want to edit.
In the Update variable dialog box, change the value of the environment variable.
- To configure the environment variables for enabling or disabling a CI/CD job, see Environment variables to enable or disable a CI/CD job.
- To configure other environment variables, see Other environment variables.
Click Update variable.

You can also edit environment variables through the .gitlab-ci.yml file.

For example:

include:
  - project: 'acquia/standard-template'
    file:
     - '/gitlab-ci/Auto-DevOps.acquia.gitlab-ci.yml'
variables:
   - ACQUIA_JOBS_CREATE_CDE: "false"
