Description

GitLab CICD is an IDE plugin designed to make it easier for you to view and manage GitLab CI/CD directly from within the IDE. The plugin provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to easily view, run, cancel and retry GitLab Pipelines and Jobs without having to switch between the IDE and the GitLab web interface. It works with both GitLab SaaS and GitLab Self-Managed (13.x or later).

With GitLab CICD, you can:

• 🔎 Quickly view the status of pipelines.
• 🖥 View detailed information about each pipeline, stage and job.
• 🛠 Run, cancel and retry pipeline or job.
• 📋 Display job log in real time.
