About this tool
GitLab CI/CD Validator
The GitLab CI/CD Validator checks .gitlab-ci.yml structure against GitLab's schema — required keys, stage consistency, extends resolution, and job dependency graphs.
• Validate a pipeline file before committing to catch structural errors early
• Debug a 'jobs config should contain at least one visible job' error without pushing
• Check extends references point to real job templates defined in the same file
• Verify stage names in jobs match the declared stages list

FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The GitLab CI/CD Validator checks .gitlab-ci.yml structure against GitLab's schema — required keys, stage consistency, extends resolution, and job dependency graphs.
What affects the result most?
Validates .gitlab-ci.yml structure against GitLab CI/CD YAML schema. Checks required top-level keys: stages, job stage membership, script presence. Detects unknown keywords and deprecated job-level settings.
How should I use the result?
Treat the tool's output as a first-pass check, not a proof of correctness. A clean pass means no issues in the patterns this tool recognizes; a failure points to a specific problem you can investigate in your source. The underlying spec is the authoritative source for edge cases.
