UPDATE: for reporting back the status of the build to a self hosted GitLab instance we now have a Step: GitLab status step v0.9.0 released
This is of course just the first step, we plan to support this use case better, from adding a new repo to having the setup prepared without adding an additional step, but for now the Step can be used for reporting back the status.
If you’d have any questions just let us know!
