Motivation
Unfortunately, GitLab didn't provide a tool to validate CI configuration for quite a while.
Now that changed with the glab CLI providing glab ci lint but it is quite limited and under the hood just calls the
new CI Lint API.
Throughout the years quite some tools evolved, but most of them are either outdated, painful to use or install, and basically also provide the lint functionality from the API.
As most of the logic in pipelines is written in shell scripts via the *script attributes these are lacking completely
from all tools out there as well as the official lint API.
The goal of gitlab-ci-verify is to provide the stock CI Lint functionality plus shellcheck. Completed in the future some rules to lint that common patterns are working as intended by GitLab and void them from being pushed and leading to unexpected behavior.

Credits
This whole project wouldn't be possible with the great work of the following libraries/tools:
- Shellcheck by koalaman
- go stdlib
- pflag by spf13
- go-yaml, which I forked to timo-reymann/go-yaml
