gitlab: Start a specific CI job.

gitlab

$ gitlab job_play ${project_name} ${job_id}

try on your machine

The gitlab job_play command is used to manually trigger a GitLab CI/CD job in a project. Here's the breakdown of the command:

${project_name}: This is a placeholder that represents the name of the project in which the job is located. You would need to replace it with the actual name of the project.

${job_id}: This is another placeholder that represents the ID of the job you want to trigger. Similarly, you would need to replace it with the actual ID of the job.

When you execute the command with the project name and job ID, GitLab will initiate the specified job, which will then run its defined tasks or actions according to the configuration in the .gitlab-ci.yml file present in the project. The job might involve steps like building, testing, and deploying software.

By manually triggering a job, you can initiate it outside of the regular GitLab CI/CD pipeline schedule or event-based triggers. This can be useful when you want to run a specific job on demand, perform debugging, or check its output and status.
