GitLab CI pipeline generator: CI pipelines, release/publish workflows for Python and TypeScript monorepos

bloque-ci-gitlab

GitLab CI pipeline generator for Python + TypeScript monorepos.

Generates CI (lint + test) and release/publish (PyPI + npm) pipelines programmatically using dict-to-YAML, making them round-trip testable and IDE-friendly.

Install

uv add bloque-ci-gitlab

Quick Start

Generate a CI pipeline

from bloque_ci_gitlab.generators import generate_ci_pipeline
from bloque_ci_gitlab.serializer import write_pipeline

# Default: matches a standard Python + TypeScript monorepo CI
pipeline = generate_ci_pipeline()
write_pipeline(pipeline, ".gitlab-ci.yml")

Generate a release pipeline

from bloque_ci_gitlab.generators import generate_release_pipeline
from bloque_ci_gitlab.models import PublishConfig
from bloque_ci_gitlab.serializer import write_pipeline

pipeline = generate_release_pipeline(
    publish_python=PublishConfig(target="pypi"),
    publish_typescript=PublishConfig(target="npm"),
)
write_pipeline(pipeline, ".gitlab-ci-release.yml")

Customize jobs

from bloque_ci_gitlab.generators import generate_ci_pipeline
from bloque_ci_gitlab.models import PipelineConfig, PythonJobConfig

config = PipelineConfig(
    name="CI",
    triggers=["push", "merge_request"],
    python=PythonJobConfig(
        run_format_check=True,
        python_version="3.13",
    ),
    typescript=None,  # Skip TypeScript jobs
)
pipeline = generate_ci_pipeline(config)

Validate

from bloque_ci_gitlab.validate import validate_config, validate_pipeline_yaml
from bloque_ci_gitlab.models import PipelineConfig
from bloque_ci_gitlab.serializer import pipeline_to_yaml
from bloque_ci_gitlab.generators import generate_ci_pipeline

# Validate config before generation
result = validate_config(PipelineConfig())
assert result.valid

# Validate generated YAML structure
yaml_str = pipeline_to_yaml(generate_ci_pipeline())
result = validate_pipeline_yaml(yaml_str)
assert result.valid

API

Models

• PythonJobConfig - Python CI job settings (version, test/lint/format commands)
• TypeScriptJobConfig - TypeScript CI job settings (node version, lint/build/test)
• PublishConfig - Publish target config (PyPI or npm, CI/CD variable names)
• PipelineConfig - Top-level pipeline config (name, triggers, jobs)

Generators

• generate_ci_pipeline(config?) - CI pipeline with lint + test + build jobs
• generate_release_pipeline(publish_python?, publish_typescript?, trigger_tag_pattern?) - Release pipeline with publish jobs

Serializer

• pipeline_to_yaml(pipeline) - Dict to clean YAML string
• write_pipeline(pipeline, path) - Write pipeline to .yml file

Validation

• validate_config(config) - Check config has at least one job
• validate_pipeline_yaml(yaml_content) - Check YAML has valid GitLab CI structure (stages, jobs with stage+script)

GitLab CI vs GitHub Actions

Concept	GitHub Actions	GitLab CI
Top-level	name, on, jobs	stages, jobs at root
Job runner	runs-on: ubuntu-latest	image: python:3.12
Steps	steps: [{uses:...}, {run:...}]	before_script + script
Triggers	on: [push, pull_request]	rules: [{if: ...}]
Secrets	${{ secrets.TOKEN }}	$TOKEN (CI/CD variable)
Cache	Implicit in actions	Explicit: cache: {paths:, key:}

Examples

Ready-to-use pipeline files in the examples/ directory:

• ci.yml - Standard CI for Python + TypeScript monorepo
• release-python.yml - Tag-triggered release to PyPI
• release-typescript.yml - Tag-triggered release to npm
