Is there a Gitlab CI equivalent of Github Actions?

I'm a bit familiar with the concept of Github Actions -- reusable CI processes that you can "use" in your own CI pipeline on other projects.

Is there a similar concept in Gitlab CI? The idea of putting CI scripts in their own repo, and then referencing that in the gitlab-ci.yml for another repo?

I've played around with curl api triggers and using the trigger keyword in Gitlab to trigger pipelines in remote repos, but they feel like they were intended for a different purpose, since the repos are still largely separate with separate pipelines.

This project although not per say an exact replacement of Github actions does offer sharable Gitlab CI/CD jobs in addition to the use of include and extend: r2devops

Oh Yes !! In fact Gitlab has a better way of re-using YAML scripts. If your goal is to keep common CI templates in separate repo and re-use them from other projects. All you have to do is use include keyword. Read my blog to learn more Quick Tips for Optimized YAML
