Completing the Software Supply Chain: Integrate GitLab CI/CD and JFrog
Introduction:Managing a complete software supply chain is vital in today's world of cybersecurity threats. If you're using GitLab CI as your workflow engine, you already know that delivery doesn't end there. To ensure seamless software delivery, you need to complete the feedback loop through continuous security, provenance, distribution, and edge management. This is where the JFrog Platform comes in.
Integrate JFrog and GitLab CI
The JFrog GitLab templates repository offers ready-to-use templates that make it easy to integrate the JFrog Platform into your existing GitLab CI/CD. These templates cover popular build-tools like .NET, Go, Gradle, Maven, npm, NuGet, Pip, Pipenv, and Yarn, providing functionalities for security and build integrations.
How it works
Simply copy the template to your GitLab repository, modify as needed, set the GitLab CI/CD variables, and you're ready to run the pipeline. The include statement at the beginning of each template adds an initialization script to your pipeline, enabling quick access to various JFrog Platform features.
