A while back I realized, that every time I pushed some commits to a branch on GitLab two separate CI pipelines started. That soon took up lots of free CI-minutes and became a problem. After some research I found out that this is, while it’s to be expected due to the design of the system, avoidable with a specific configuration addition.

Every now and then I have to add a GPG-key to one of my projects. Last week for instance a key expired that I used for a year to sign my commits. And every time that happens, I have to google how to create my key again.
