Adding a .gitlab-ci.yml file doesn't activate CI
gitlab-ci
Solution
I found a solution to this. In the project settings (Gear Icon -> Edit Project), be sure that `Builds` is not set to `Disabled`
Problem
I have a number of repositories on my local gitlab installation. I am migrating from Jenkins to gitlab for CI, and switched my first repo over no problem. The second repo didn't activate the CI when I added the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. Specifically, the `Pipelines` link doesn't show up in the project page. Has anyone had this problem? Any ideas of how to force the CI to activate and recognize the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file?
