-# DrupalCI GitLabCI template
+# GitLabCI template for Drupal projects.
 #
-# Gitlab-ci.yml to replicate DrupalCI testing for Contrib
-#
-# With thanks to:
-#   * The GitLab Acceleration Initiative participants
-#   * DrupalSpoons
+# This template is designed to give any Contrib maintainer everything they need to test, without requiring modification.
+# It is also designed to keep up to date with Core Development automatically through the use of include files that can be centrally maintained.
+# As long as you include the project, ref and three files below, any future updates added by the Drupal Association will be used in your
+# pipelines automatically. However, you can modify this template if you have additional needs for your project.
+# The full documentation is on https://project.pages.drupalcode.org/gitlab_templates/

-# Additional configuration can be provided through includes.
-# One advantage of include files is that if they are updated upstream, the changes affect all pipelines using that include.
-#
-# Includes can be overridden by re-declaring anything provided in an include, here in gitlab-ci.yml
