-> *To Do: expand on how repo setup and how to use.*
+## 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.
+
+
+### gitlab-ci layout
+
+We use the following branches *(these jobs assume you do as well)*:
+ - `master` - Considered as the stable branch
+ - `development` considered as unstable
+
+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.

-# 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. This job runs on successful completion of previous jobs and only on `development` and `master` branches.
+# 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*  |
