+# This file is a template, and might need editing before it works on your project.
+# This is a sample GitLab CI/CD configuration file that should run without any modifications.
+# It demonstrates a basic 3 stage CI/CD pipeline. Instead of real tests or scripts,
+# it uses echo commands to simulate the pipeline execution.
+#
+# A pipeline is composed of independent jobs that run scripts, grouped into stages.
+# Stages run in sequential order, but jobs within stages run in parallel.
+#
+# For more information, see: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/README.html#stages
+
+stages:          # List of stages for jobs, and their order of execution
+  - test
+
+lint-test-job:   # This job also runs in the test stage.
+  stage: test    # It can run at the same time as unit-test-job (in parallel).
+  script:
+    - echo "Linting code... This will take about 10 seconds."
+    - sleep 1
+    - echo "No lint issues found."
