CI tags¶

You can add various tags in the commit message of your last commit to modify the continuous integration behaviour for your merge requests.

Current CI tags¶

[ci:skip-build]: Do not build modified packages, only verify their checksums. Use this when pushing changes to an MR that should not trigger a complete build.
[ci:skip-vercheck]: Do not verify if the version of a changed package has been increased. Use this, when making a cosmetic change in an APKBUILD that should not cause the package to get rebuilt, or when changing the enabled architectures.
[ci:skip-kconfigcheck]: Do not check the kernel config for packages changed in the commit. Use this when moving kernel packages between categories or performing bulk changes across a lot of kernel packages, but never when upgrading the kernel.
[ci:skip-dint]: Do not run the device-linter check. Use this when moving or modifying many devices not maintained by you that due to historical reasons might not pass the check.
[skip ci]: Completely skip the pipeline for the merge request. This is a GitLab feature. Use this only in very extreme situations where CI might be broken, but a change is needed to fix critical bugs. Whenever possible, try to use the other tags.

[ci:ignore-count]: Allow skipping the “too many packages changed” check. Use this when automatically modifying many device packages.
- Removed after v25.12 together with the package count check as it hampered productivity to little gain since we no longer have runners with limited compute minutes.
