Well, nevermind. This is only for providing values at runtime, not as a templating engine..

You can't actually replace variables with this, you still need the Gitlab Components/templates.

> Provide input values
> You can provide job input values when:
> Running a manual job.
> Retrying a job after it completes.

This is only useful if you ever need to retry a job with different values, which is not a generic scenario that should come up for anything other than iterating on the CI Pipeline.

Gitlab CI finally got proper job input, begone Environment Variables! Pinch me, I must be dreaming.

hey everyone,

you may have guessed reading between the lines, but I lost my job in the recent tech layoffs…

also burnt out and realised I need to go back to working on stuff I care about.

I hope to gather enough small monthly sponsors to at least cover the bills, so I can:

- 🖥️ create beautiful apps for #Linux / #GNOME

- ✏️ provide free #design support to #OpenSource projects

if you like my work, please consider $1/month to make this possible?

thank you. :)

 I love working with people from all over the world.

Nerd culture is funny because it fooled an entire generation into thinking that if you liked sci-fi and disliked sports, that somehow made you smart.
