# Making our CI/CD Pipeline
### Config File
To create our pipeline, we must first create a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file and specify it to our project requirements (Place this in your project root)
[Templates](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/examples/)
[Syntax Reference](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/)
{% code title=".gitlab-ci.yml" %}
```yaml
image: golang:1.22
stages:
- test
- build
build:
stage: build
script:
- "go build -o calculator"
- "./calculator"
test:
stage: test
script:
- "go test"
```
{% endcode %}
Paste the code then push it to your repository
```bash
> git add .\.gitlab-ci.yml
> git commit -m "Created GO Pipeline"
> git push
```
We can now view our pipeline from the repository, under **Build -> Pipeline -> Pipeline Number**
### **Viewing our deployed pipeline**
Successful Build

**Issues Faced**
Spent the better part of an hour debugging and figured out that you need to create a runner as root cause of docker permissions. Alternatively, you can add yourself to the docker group - although it's easier just to use sudo
{% endhint %}
### Testing for Failures
Just like in [Simple Calculator Project](/offensive-security/red-team/offensive-development/offensive-devops/gitlab/simple-calculator-project.md), we can test for failures by changing the values slightly
First, we'll create a separate branch to mimic a real project, then change the test values from there
Creating a new branch with VS Code
Editing calculator_test.go
Push your changes then wait for the pipeline to finish running
Failure Test
We can now fix it back and create a merge request to main. Merge requests will trigger a pipeline job to check for errors before letting you merge (depending on your project settings)
