Ah, okay. So in that case, ci/README.rst should point out that the yml file has further docs, so that the users don't have to look too deep. > > I welcome if pipelines are run automatically and I don't have to fiddle > > with the web UI or try to figure out which custom approach the project > > picked to run pipelines especially if I can't be bothered to set up the > > test env locally e.g. for a one-off contribution. > > > > Users were always able to opt-out of running pipelines if they wish to > > just store code in their fork by using '-o ci.skip=true' which is a > > gitlab option thus same for all projects. > > That was fine (for users, but not GitLab's $$$ burn) when CI was > unlimited, but we need to be more respectful of users CI quota now > it is finite and very easy to quickly exhaust. > > > > > This variable can also be set globally on the repository, though this is > > > not recommended. > > > > Also mention how to do this for anyone interested to preserve the old > > behaviour by default. > > As above, I really recommend against doing this, unles you want to > burn through your CI minutes quickly and find you can't run anymore > for the rest of the month.
