What’s New
You can now set up your GitLab project using the following options within CircleCI: use an existing .circleci/config.yml in a repository (fastest); commit a starter CI pipeline to a new branch (faster); or go to a config.yml template that you can edit (fast). These setup options will also trigger a pipeline, so you no longer need to manually commit a change from your GitLab repo in order to run your pipeline for the first time.
