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


 ## Contributing
+
 All contributions for this project must conducted from [Gitlab](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
+
+### 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. 
+### 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}`
+
+- Commit message SHA1 of your first commit message to the branch `{original_commit}`

 ``` 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

+## 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*  |

+
+```
+
+> 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 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
+

+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.
+
+
+## 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
+
+
+## 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.

-# 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.
-
-
-This job provides the following badge:
-
- None
-
-## Dependencies
-
- This job will only run if all previous jobs run.
-
-## your .gitlab-ci.yml changes
-To use this job add the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
-
-``` yaml
-stages:
-    - 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}`.
-
-
-## CI/CD Variables required
-
-| var name | Description |
-|:----:|:----|
-| GIT_COMMIT_TOKEN | *this must be a personal token that has write access to the repository* |

-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`
