 ## Using this repository for your Gitlab CI/CD Jobs.
+
 This repository has been designed as a central point for your repositories CI/CD jobs. By simply linking this repository to your repository and configuring, your CI/CD jobs will run as part of the build process, whilst keeping any CI/CD commits limited within your git history.

 Each CI/CD job is contained within its own sub-folder. Each sub-folder has a readme specific to the job, which includes the details on how to implement, use etc.

+For further details on using these templates with your Gitlab CI/CD jobs, pleaase view the [documentation](https://nofusscomputing.com/projects/gitlab-ci).

 We use the following branches *(these jobs assume you do as well)*:
 - `master` - Considered as the stable branch
@ -57,99 +60,8 @@ We use the following branches *(these jobs assume you do as well)*:
 We also tag each branch to denote the version of release. We use our own repo to do the version increment automagically in line with [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/).


-
-### CI Stages
-The CI stages for these jobs are as follows, and in the order expected by the jobs:
-
- validation
-    > validation of files, commits,  Merge Request titles, code quality, license checks.
-
- build
-    > build any binaries or files that would be used in the later stages .
-
- prepare
-    > any jobs that must run after build but before testing. for example a docker image build that includes artifacts from the build job
-
- test
-    > unit, functional, integration and any other tests.
-
- release
-    > git tagging and creating a gitlab release. Also includes adding build artifacts to gitlab registry.
-
- sync
-    > repository synchronization, i.e. push mirror to github.
-
- publish
-    > placement of build objects to external sources
-
-### .gitlab-ci.yml example
-
-example:
-``` yaml
-stages:
-    - validation
-    - build
-    - prepare
-    - test
-    - release
-    - sync
-    - publish
-
-variables:
-    GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive
-    MY_PROJECT_ID: "{your_project_id}"
-
-include:
-  - project: nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci
-    ref: 68b6bc3bfacf0770e10d2e10a5c57952070d44fe
-    file:
-      - conventional_commits/.gitlab-ci.yml
-      - gitlab_release/.gitlab-ci.yml
-      - git_push_mirror/.gitlab-ci.yml
-      - ansible/.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-```
-| :bulb: Tip |
-|:----|
-|  *Use a project import in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file that is tied to a specific `ref`. for example a commit or tag. Also ensure that the `gitlab-ci` `git sub-module` and the `ref` as part of the includes matches.*  |
-
-
-### Artifacts
-Any artifacts by jobs will be created in folders named after the stage.
-
-preference is placed on jobs to output JUnit.xml test reports. This is because they are visible in merge requests.
-
-
-## Git Sub-Module setup
-
-It is recommended that you set-up this repo as a git sub-module to your repo and that you configure it to a set commit/tag. This ensures that any change to `gitlab-ci` repo, does not effect your CI/CD jobs.
-
-run the following commands:
-``` bash
-git submodule add -b {ref} https://gitlab.com/nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci.git gitlab-ci
-git submodule update --remote
-
-```
-
-|  :bulb: Tip  |
-|:-----|
-|  NOTE: `{ref}` should be replaced with the branch name, `master` is the stable branch and recommended. by default the sub-module will be created in folder `gitlab-ci`, it is recommended that you **don't** change this folder name.  
-You can also substitute the gitlab url with the github url `https://github.com/NoFussComputing/gitlab-ci.git` for the submodule if you desire. this repo is auto-synced with github on each change to the repo.  |
-
-After each `git submodule update --remote` you will have to commit the sub-module update to your repo. Suggested commands as follows:
-``` bash
-git add .gitmodules 
-
-git add gitlab-ci
-
-git commit -m "ci(gitlab-ci): updated to use version x
-
-{your reason here or explain what is provided/changed}"
-```
-Then push the changes to your source.

-# Conventional Commits User Manual
-Commitizen is used to validate the format of commit messages. we use [Conventional Commit Messages](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) format for our validation jobs.
-
-This repository may have two CI jobs to do with commitizen:
- **MR Title** *Checks the Merge Request Title*
- **Commit Messages** *Checks all commit messages*
-
-These CI Jobs output a test report that can be viewed inside of the merge request and contain the error(s), if any.
-
-To fix an error please refer to the titled sections below.
-
-## MR Title
-Ensure that the merge request title is in the [conventional message](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) format. NOTE: the title is case sensitive.
-
-
-## Commit Messages
-All commit messages that form part of your merge request must be in [conventional message](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) format. 
-
-To fix them go back and edit your commit messages.
-
-
-### fixing commit messages (suggestion)
-
-If only the last commit is the commit with an error just use `git commit --amend` and edit your commit message to be in the correct format and save. now push your changes. 
-
-
-You will require the following information if the commit message with the error is further down the commit tree:
- - Commit message SHA1 of your first commit message to the branch `{original_commit}`
- - Commit message SHA1 prior to your first commit `{source_commit}`
-
-Run these commands once you have the information above.
-``` bash
-git format-patch {original_commit}..HEAD -o diff-patches
-
-git reset {source_commit} --hard
-```
-
-Now, navigate to the `diff-patches` folder, open up the offending patch (commit) and edit the `subject` or message body as appropriate and save. Once all the edits have been done, re-apply the patches to your tree with:
-
-``` bash
-git am diff-patches/*.patch
-```
-Now push your changes upstream.
-
-| :notebook_with_decorative_cover: Note  |
-|:-----:|
-|  *As you have changed the commit SHA1(s), when you next push your changes upstream, you must force push. `git push --force`*  |
-
-| :octagonal_sign: **WARNING**  |
-|:-----:|
-|  *Ensure that all of your commits were exported prior to reseting the branch and when re-applying, that all of your commits were applied correctly*  |
-

+title: Ansible Playbook
+description: How to use No Fuss Computings gitlab-ci job for running Ansible Playbooks
+date: 2023-05-29
+template: project.html
+about: https://gitlab.com/nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci
+---
+
+This job enables you to run an Ansible playbook within the Gitlab CI/CD environment.
+
+
+There is also an additional job defined that enables you to specify a project to run an automated update of it's git submodules. This is useful if the project you create the job in, is used as a git submodule in another project. On pushing to the development branch, this job triggers the `Git.Submodules.Update.Chores` job that updates the specified projects git submodules.
+
+
+
+## your .gitlab-ci.yml changes
+
+- **Mandatory** In addition to the previous dependency, this requirement is for the project specified in the trigger job. The following must be added to the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file in that project.
+
+``` yaml
+include:
+  - project: nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci
+    ref: master
+    file:
+      - .gitlab-ci_common.yaml
+      - automation/template/automagic.gitlab-ci.yaml
+```
+
+To use the ansible playbook job add the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
+
+``` yaml
+
+stages:
+    - chores
+
+include:
+  - project: nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci
+    ref: master
+    file:
+      - automation/.gitlab-ci-ansible.yaml
+
+Ansible Job:
+  extends: .ansible_playbook
+  variables:
+    ansible_playbook: 'git_configuration.yaml'
+    ansible_tags: 'submodule'
+    PIPELINE_RUN_TRIGGER: 'false'
+    PIPELINE_RUN_SCHEDULE: 'false'
+
+```
+
+To run the trigger job to update another projects git submodules. add the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
+
+``` yaml
+
+stages:
+    - publish
+
+include:
+  - project: nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci
+    ref: master
+    file:
+      - automation/.gitlab-ci-ansible.yaml
+
+Docker_Mail.Submodule.Deploy:
+  extends: .submodule_update_trigger
+  variables:
+    SUBMODULE_UPDATE_TRIGGER_PROJECT: nofusscomputing/projects/docker-mail
+
+```
+
+!!! Tip
+    In addition to the variables below, you can also specify any additional Environment variables for use by Ansible within the container. Refer to the [Ansible configuration documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#common-options) for further details
+
+
+## Job: `.ansible_playbook`
+
+This job runs an Ansible playbook using the `nofusscomputing/ansible-ee:dev` Docker image.
+
+
+### Stage: Chores
+
+This job is responsible for executing an Ansible playbook. It can be customized by setting the following variables:
+
+
+#### Variables
+
+- `ansible_inventory`: The Ansible inventory file.
+
+- `ansible_playbook`: The name of the Ansible playbook file.
+
+- `ansible_tags`: The tags to be applied during playbook execution.
+
+
+### Rules
+
+- Rule 1: If the `NFC_AUTO_JOBS` variable is set to `"false"`, the job will never run.
+
+- Rule 2: If the pipeline is triggered by a schedule and `PIPELINE_RUN_SCHEDULE` is set to `"true"`, the job will run only if the `.nfc_automation.yaml` file exists.
+
+- Rule 3: If the pipeline is triggered by an API call, another pipeline, a trigger, or a parent pipeline, and `PIPELINE_RUN_TRIGGER` is set to `"true"`, the job will run only if the `.nfc_automation.yaml` file exists.
+
+- Rule 4: If the pipeline is triggered by a push to the `development` branch, the job will run only if the `.nfc_automation.yaml` file exists. see [Documentation](../git_configuration/submodule/) for file details.
+
+- Rule 5: This rule prevents the job from running under any circumstances.
+
+
+## Job: `.ansible_playbook_git_submodule`
+
+This job extends the `.ansible_playbook` job and is specifically used for running the `git_configuration.yaml` playbook with the `submodule` tags.
+
+
+### Stage: Chores
+
+This job is responsible for executing the `git_configuration.yaml` playbook with the `submodule` tags.
+
+
+#### Variables
+
+- `ansible_playbook`: The name of the Ansible playbook file (`git_configuration.yaml`).
+
+- `ansible_tags`: The tags to be applied during playbook execution (`submodule`).
+
+
+### Rules
+
+- Rule 1: If the `NFC_AUTO_JOBS` variable is set to `"false"`, the job will never run.
+
+- Rule 2: If the pipeline is triggered by a schedule and `PIPELINE_RUN_SCHEDULE` is set to `"true"`, the job will run only if the `.nfc_automation.yaml` file exists.
+
+- Rule 3: If the pipeline is triggered by an API call, another pipeline, a trigger, or a parent pipeline, and `PIPELINE_RUN_TRIGGER` is set to `"true"`, the job will run only if the `.nfc_automation.yaml` file exists. see [Documentation](../git_configuration/submodule/) for file details.
+
+- Rule 4: If the pipeline is triggered by a push to the `development` branch, the job will run only if the `.nfc_automation.yaml` file exists.
+
+- Rule 5: This rule prevents the job from running under any circumstances.
+
+
+## Job: `.submodule_update_trigger`
+
+This job triggers a pipeline in another project.
+
+
+### Stage: Publish
+
+This job is responsible for triggering a pipeline in another project.
+
+
+#### Variables
+
+- `PIPELINE_RUN_TRIGGER`: The flag to indicate if the triggered pipeline should run (`true`).
+
+
+### Rules
+
+- Rule 1: If the pipeline is triggered by a push to the `master` or `development` branch, and there is no associated tag, the job will run on successful completion.

+title: Conventional Commits
+description: How to use No Fuss Computings gitlab-ci job for Conventional Commits
+date: 2021-08-03
+template: project.html
+about: https://gitlab.com/nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci
+---
+
+## User Manual
+
+Commitizen is used to validate the format of commit messages. we use [Conventional Commit Messages](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) format for our validation jobs.
+
+This repository may have two CI jobs to do with commitizen:
+
+- **MR Title** *Checks the Merge Request Title*
+
+- **Commit Messages** *Checks all commit messages*
+
+These CI Jobs output a test report that can be viewed inside of the merge request and contain the error(s), if any.
+
+To fix an error please refer to the titled sections below.
+
+
+### MR Title
+
+Ensure that the merge request title is in the [conventional message](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) format. NOTE: the title is case sensitive.
+
+
+### Commit Messages
+
+All commit messages that form part of your merge request must be in [conventional message](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) format.
+
+To fix them go back and edit your commit messages.
+
+
+#### fixing commit messages (suggestion)
+
+If only the last commit is the commit with an error just use `git commit --amend` and edit your commit message to be in the correct format and save. now push your changes.
+
+You will require the following information if the commit message with the error is further down the commit tree:
+
+- Commit message SHA1 of your first commit message to the branch `{original_commit}`
+
+- Commit message SHA1 prior to your first commit `{source_commit}`
+
+Run these commands once you have the information above.
+
+``` bash
+
+git format-patch {original_commit}..HEAD -o ../diff-patches
+
+git reset {source_commit} --hard
+
+```
+
+Now, navigate to the `diff-patches` folder, open up the offending patch (commit) and edit the `subject` or message body as appropriate and save. Once all the edits have been done, re-apply the patches to your tree with:
+
+``` bash
+
+git am ../diff-patches/*.patch
+
+```
+
+Now push your changes upstream.
+
+| :notebook_with_decorative_cover: Note  |
+|:-----:|
+|  *As you have changed the commit SHA1(s), when you next push your changes upstream, you must force push. `git push --force`*  |
+
+| :octagonal_sign: **WARNING**  |
+|:-----:|
+|  *Ensure that all of your commits were exported prior to reseting the branch and when re-applying, that all of your commits were applied correctly*  |
+
+
+## GitLab CI Template - `.conventional_commit`
+
+This GitLab CI template, named `.conventional_commit`, is designed to validate conventional commits within a GitLab CI/CD pipeline. It follows predefined rules to ensure that commit message conventions are met.
+
+
+### your .gitlab-ci.yml changes
+
+To use this job add the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
+
+``` yaml
+
+variables:
+    GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive
+    MY_PROJECT_ID: "{yourproject id number}"
+
+stages:
+    - validation
+
+include:
+    - remote: https://gitlab.com/nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci/-/raw/development/conventional_commits/.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+```
+
+
+### Job Description
+
+The `.conventional_commit` job performs various tasks related to validating conventional commits. It runs in the `validation` stage of the pipeline and uses the `python:3.6-slim` Docker image.
+
+
+### Variables
+
+- `DEFAULT_ROOT_DIR`: The default root directory is set as `./gitlab-ci`.
+
+- `MR_ACCESS_TOKEN`: The access token for the merge request. If not defined, it falls back to `CI_JOB_TOKEN`.
+
+- `JOB_ROOT_DIR`: The root directory for the job. If not defined, it falls back to `DEFAULT_ROOT_DIR`.
+
+- `MY_PROJECT_ID`: The custom project ID. If not defined, it falls back to `CI_PROJECT_ID`.
+
+
+### Stages
+
+- `validation`: The job is assigned to the `validation` stage.
+
+
+### Script
+
+The script section contains the actions performed during the job execution. These actions include creating directories, setting up variables, preparing the Python environment, and executing commands related to validating conventional commits.
+
+The complete script can be found in the GitLab CI template file.
+
+
+### Artifacts
+
+The job generates artifacts that are stored for a period of 3 days. The artifacts include the following paths:
+
+- `$CI_PROJECT_DIR/artifacts/*`
+
+- `$CI_PROJECT_DIR/artifacts/$CI_JOB_STAGE/tests/*.junit.xml`
+
+
+### Rules
+
+The job follows certain rules to determine when it should be executed:
+
+- If the variable `$JOB_STOP_CONVENTIONAL_COMMITS` is true, the job will not run.
+
+- If the branch is pushed and a commit is made, and there is no tag associated with the commit, and the pipeline source is "push", the job will run if `.cz.yaml` file exists.
+
+- In all other cases, the job will not run.
+
+This GitLab CI template provides a convenient way to validate conventional commits and enforce commit message conventions within your CI/CD pipelines.

+template: project.html
+about: https://gitlab.com/nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci
+---
+
+This documentation provides an overview and explanation of the GitLab CI/CD YAML template. The template defines a job named `.build_docker_container` that builds a Docker container using the specified configuration.
+
+
+### Stage: build
+
+This job builds a Docker container using the `nofusscomputing/docker-buildx-qemu:dev` image and the `docker:23-dind` service.
+
+
+#### Variables
+
+- `DOCKER_IMAGE_BUILD_NAME`: The name of the Docker image to be built (`$CI_PROJECT_NAME`).
+
+- `DOCKER_IMAGE_BUILD_REGISTRY`: The registry where the Docker image will be pushed (`$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE`).
+
+- `DOCKER_IMAGE_BUILD_TAG`: The tag to be applied to the Docker image (`$CI_COMMIT_SHA`).
+
+
+#### Rules
+
+- Rule 1: The job runs if the pipeline is triggered by a git tag and a `dockerfile` or `dockerfile.j2` file exists.
+
+- Rule 2: The job runs if the pipeline is triggered by a push to the `development` branch and a `dockerfile` or `dockerfile.j2` file exists. It also checks for changes in the `dockerfile`, `dockerfile.j2`, or `includes/` directory compared to the `master` branch.
+
+- Rule 3: The job runs if the pipeline is triggered by a push to a branch other than `master` or `development` and a `dockerfile` or `dockerfile.j2` file exists. It also checks for changes in the `dockerfile`, `dockerfile.j2`, or `includes/` directory compared to the `development` branch.
+
+- Rule 4: The job never runs.
+
+
+#### Script
+
+The script performs the following steps:
+
+1. Updates the binary formats and enables execution of other binary formats in the kernel.
+
+2. Creates a Docker buildx builder and sets it as the active builder.
+
+3. Builds a multi-arch Docker image if the `DOCKER_IMAGE_BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORMS` variable is specified. It applies labels to the image and pushes it to the specified registry. It also inspects the image and performs cleanup by removing additional unknown images from the container registry.
+
+4. Builds a Docker image if the `DOCKER_IMAGE_BUILD_TARGET_PLATFORMS` variable is not specified. It applies labels to the image and pushes it to the specified registry.

+## GitLab CI Template - Developer Manual
+
+
+## Job: gitlab_release
+
+This job bumps the version, updates the changelog, creates a git tag and creates a gitlab release. The git tag and release title use [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/). for this job to function correctly a `.cz.yaml` is required in the root of the repository. this file contains the [commitizen](https://github.com/commitizen-tools/commitizen) config and the version details.
+
+!!! Alert
+    *If prior to merging to the master branch you do a version increment, and there are no commits prior to merging. the job will not increment the version and the job will fail. it is recommended that you only do a version increment on the `development` branch if you are going to commit further changes to the `development` branch*
+
+
+### Stage
+
+`release`
+
+
+### Image
+
+The job uses the `registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli:latest` image.
+
+
+### Variables
+
+The job does not use any additional variables.
+
+
+### Explanation
+
+The `gitlab_release` job is responsible for creating releases and tags for the GitLab repository. It follows a specific release workflow and utilizes the `release-cli` tool to automate the release process.
+
+
+### Steps
+
+1. Set ROOT_DIR variable: Sets the `ROOT_DIR` variable based on the value of `JOB_ROOT_DIR`.
+
+2. Create necessary directories: Creates necessary directories for storing artifacts and tests.
+
+3. Install dependencies: Updates the package manager and installs Git and Python 3. Sets up the Python environment by installing required packages.
+
+4. Clone repository: Clones the repository using the provided authentication token and checks out the `development` branch.
+
+5. Configure Git: Configures Git settings for the release process.
+
+6. Perform release steps: Executes release-related steps, such as running a custom command (`$MY_COMMAND`), generating the release changelog, and tagging the release.
+
+7. Push changes: Pushes the changes to the GitLab repository.
+
+8. Cleanup: Removes the cloned repository.
+
+
+### Rules
+
+- The job is never triggered when `$JOB_STOP_GITLAB_RELEASE` is true.
+
+- The job is never triggered when the commit author is `nfc_bot <helpdesk@nofusscomputing.com>`.
+
+- If the commit is pushed to the `master` branch, the job is only triggered on successful pipeline execution and failure is not allowed.
+
+- If the commit is pushed to the `development` branch, the job is triggered manually and failure is allowed.
+
+
+### your .gitlab-ci.yml changes
+
+To use this job add the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
+
+CI Job `ci commit footer` is automatically set to run on all branches except `development` and `master`. This job checks the commits on the users branch that they contain a footer with gitlab references. i.e. `#1` for issue one or `!1` for merge request one.
+
+``` yaml
+
+stages:
+    - validate
+    - release
+
+include:
+    - remote: https://gitlab.com/nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci/-/raw/development/gitlab_release/.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+Gitlab Release:
+    variables:
+        MY_COMMAND: "{your command here}"
+    extends:
+        - .gitlab_release
+
+```
+
+> if you wish to run any commands you can add them to variable `MY_COMMAND`. The custom command will run under shell `/bin/sh`. This command is set to run before the version bump commit is conducted so any changes you wish to add as part of the version bump, you can do here as long as you `git add {changed file name}`.
+
+
+## Job: commit_footer_refs
+
+
+### Stage
+
+`validation`
+
+
+### Image
+
+The job uses the `python:3.6-slim` image.
+
+
+### Variables
+
+- `DEFAULT_ROOT_DIR`: The default root directory path.
+
+
+### Explanation
+
+The `commit_footer_refs` job validates the commit footer references in the GitLab repository. It checks if the commit messages adhere to the conventional commit format and generates a JUnit XML report.
+
+
+### Conventional Commits
+
+Conventional commits follow a specific format for commit messages, consisting of a type, optional scope, and a message. The format is as follows:
+
+```
+<type>(<scope>): <message>
+```
+
+- The `<type>` represents the nature of the changes, such as `feat` for a new feature, `fix` for a bug fix, `docs` for documentation changes, and so on.
+
+- The `<scope>` (optional) provides additional context for the commit, indicating the module, component, or area of code being modified.
+
+- The `<message>` contains a concise and descriptive summary of the changes.
+
+The commit footer can contain additional information, such as references to issues, feature requests, or pull requests.
+
+
+### Steps
+
+1. Create necessary directories: Creates necessary directories for storing artifacts and test results.
+
+2. Set ROOT_DIR variable: Sets the `ROOT_DIR` variable based on the value of `JOB_ROOT_DIR`.
+
+3. Install dependencies: Updates the package manager and installs Git and the required Python packages for the commit footer validation.
+
+4. Clone repository: Clones the repository and checks out the specified branch.
+
+5. Run commit_footer script: Executes the `commit_footer` script to validate the commit footer references.
+
+6. Generate artifacts: Generates a JUnit XML report for the test results.
+
+
+### Rules
+
+- The job is never triggered when `$JOB_STOP_CONVENTIONAL_COMMITS` is true.
+
+- The job is never triggered when `CHANGELOG_FOOTER_REFERENCES` is false.
+
+- The job is always triggered when the commit is not pushed to the master or development branch, and a .cz.yaml file is present, indicating the usage of conventional commits.
+
+- The job is never triggered otherwise.

+description: How to use No Fuss Computings gitlab-ci project within your CI/CD pipelines
+date: 2023-05-22
+template: project.html
+about: https://gitlab.com/nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci
+---
+
+!!! Note
+    Docs Still under development
+
+
+## Docs ToDo
+
+- Templates folder is for `gitlab-ci.yaml` that automagically create the jobs if included
+
+- other sub folders are for `` which **DO NOT** automagically create jobs, but are pure definitions only.
+
+- notate how each of the stages run and under what circumstance. *i.e. gitlab-ci.yml rules.exist/rules.changes*
+
+## CI Stages
+
+The CI stages for these jobs are as follows, and in the order expected by the jobs:
+
+- chores
+    > automated tasks
+
+- validation
+    > validation of files, commits,  Merge Request titles, code quality, license checks.
+
+- build
+    > build any binaries or files that would be used in the later stages .
+
+- prepare
+    > any jobs that must run after build but before testing. for example a docker image build that includes artifacts from the build job
+
+- test
+    > unit, functional, integration and any other tests.
+
+- release
+    > git tagging and creating a gitlab release. Also includes adding build artifacts to gitlab registry.
+
+- sync
+    > repository synchronization, i.e. push mirror to github.
+
+- publish
+    > placement of build objects to external sources
+
+
+## Git Sub-Module setup
+
+It is recommended that you set-up this repo as a git sub-module to your repo and that you configure it to a set commit/tag. This ensures that any change to `gitlab-ci` repo, does not effect your CI/CD jobs.
+
+run the following commands:
+
+``` bash
+
+git submodule add -b {ref} https://gitlab.com/nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci.git gitlab-ci
+git submodule update --remote
+
+```
+
+!!! Tip
+    NOTE: `{ref}` should be replaced with the branch name, `master` is the stable branch and recommended. by default the sub-module will be created in folder `gitlab-ci`, it is recommended that you **don't** change this folder name.  
+
+    You can also substitute the gitlab url with the github url `https://github.com/NoFussComputing/gitlab-ci.git` for the submodule if you desire. this repo is auto-synced with github on each change to the repo.
+
+After each `git submodule update --remote` you will have to commit the sub-module update to your repo. Suggested commands as follows:
+
+``` bash
+
+git add .gitmodules 
+
+git add gitlab-ci
+
+git commit -m "ci(gitlab-ci): updated to use version x
+
+{your reason here or explain what is provided/changed}"
+
+```
+
+Then push the changes to your source.
+
+
+## .gitlab-ci.yaml example
+
+example:
+
+``` yaml
+
+include:
+  - project: nofusscomputing/projects/gitlab-ci
+    ref: master
+    file:
+      - .gitlab-ci_common.yaml
+      - $JOB_ROOT_DIR/{filepath to include here and is relative to the gitlab-ci repo root}
+
+variables:
+    MY_PROJECT_ID: "{your_project_id}"
+
+```
+
+!!! Tip
+    Use a project import in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file that is tied to a specific `ref`. for example a branch, commit or tag. Also ensure that the `gitlab-ci` `git sub-module` and the `ref` as part of the includes matches.*
+
+
+## Artifacts
+
+Any artifacts by jobs will be created in folders named after the stage.
+
+preference is placed on jobs to output JUnit.xml test reports. This is because they are visible in merge requests.

-# Commit Message Footer References - User Manual
-All commit messages must be in [conventional commit format](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) and have a footer with a gitlab reference. The reference **must** be either a merge request or a gitlab issue. (format i.e. `!1` or `#2` *using the correct reference number*).
-
-
-
-## fixing commit messages (suggestion)
-
-If only the last commit is the commit with an error just use `git commit --amend` and edit your commit message to be in the correct format and save. now push your changes. 
-
-
-You will require the following information if the commit message with the error is further down the commit tree:
- - Commit message SHA1 of your first commit message to the branch `{original_commit}`
- - Commit message SHA1 prior to your first commit `{source_commit}`
-
-Run these commands once you have the information above.
-``` bash
-git format-patch {original_commit}..HEAD -o diff-patches
-
-git reset {source_commit} --hard
-```
-
-Now, navigate to the `diff-patches` folder, open up the offending patch (commit) and edit the `subject` or message body as appropriate and save. Once all the edits have been done, re-apply the patches to your tree with:
-
-``` bash
-git am diff-patches/*.patch
-```
-Now push your changes upstream.
-
-| :notebook_with_decorative_cover: Note  |
-|:-----:|
-|  *As you have changed the commit SHA1(s), when you next push your changes upstream, you must force push. `git push --force`*  |
-
-| :octagonal_sign: **WARNING**  |
-|:-----:|
-|  *Ensure that all of your commits were exported prior to reseting the branch and when re-applying, that all of your commits were applied correctly*  |

-# Gitlab Release - Developer Manual
-This job bumps the version, updates the changelog, creates a git tag and creates a gitlab release. The git tag and release title use [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/). for this job to function correctly a `.cz.yaml` is required in the root of the repository. this file contains the [commitizen](https://github.com/commitizen-tools/commitizen) config and the version details. 
-
-This job has the following workflow:
-
- `master` Branch
-     > Automatically increment the version
-
- `development` Branch
-     > Manual CI job made available to increment the version. (release-candidate increment only)
-
-|  :octagonal_sign: Danger  |
-|:----|
-|  *If prior to merging to the master branch you do a version increment, and there are no commits prior to merging. the job will not increment the version and the job will fail. it is recommended that you only do a version increment on the `development` branch if you are going to commit further changes to the `development` branch*  |
-
-
-This job provides the following badge:

-
-## Dependencies
-
- None
-
-## your .gitlab-ci.yml changes
-To use this job add the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
-
-CI Job `ci commit footer` is automatically set to run on all branches except `development` and `master`. This job checks the commits on the users branch that they contain a footer with gitlab references. i.e. `#1` for issue one or `!1` for merge request one.

-Gitlab Release:
-    variables:
-        MY_COMMAND: "{your command here}"
-    extends:
-        - .gitlab_release
-```
-> if you wish to run any commands you can add them to variable `MY_COMMAND`. The custom command will run under shell `/bin/sh`. This command is set to run before the version bump commit is conducted so any changes you wish to add as part of the version bump, you can do here as long as you `git add {changed file name}`.
-
-
-## CI/CD Variables required
-
-| var name | Description |
-|:----:|:----|
-| GIT_COMMIT_TOKEN | *this must be a personal token that has write access to the repository* |
-| CHANGELOG_FOOTER_REFERENCES |  ***Optional** If set to `False` the changelog will not output gitlab references for each entry of the changelog. If this variable is set globally, it will also prevent the creation of the CI job to validate a users commits as having gitlab references.*  |

-
-## Job Workflow
-
-This CI job's workflow is:
-
-1. updates the changelog from the commits
-1. commit the changelog to git
-1. adds a `git tag` to the changelog commit. 
-1. pushes the change back to the repo
-1. creates a git release from the `git tag`
-
-| :octagonal_sign: **NOTE** |
-|:----|
-| *If the user has forked the branch, they must keep the development brnach synced with the main repo. If they **don't** the CI job 'commit footer refs' will fail as it will not be able to fetch the parent (`development`) hash of the branch.* |
-
-
-## Artifacts
-
- `ci commit footer`
-    > $CI_PROJECT_DIR/artifacts/$CI_JOB_STAGE/tests/$CI_JOB_NAME.junit.xml
-
- `Gitlab Release`
-    > None
