Project-level Secure Files API

DETAILS: Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate Offering: GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated

• Generally available in GitLab 15.7. Feature flag ci_secure_files removed.

This feature is part of Mobile DevOps developed by GitLab Incubation Engineering. The feature is still in development, but you can:

• Request a feature.
• Report a bug.
• Share feedback.

You can securely store up to 100 files for use in CI/CD pipelines as secure files. These files are stored securely outside of your project's repository and are not version controlled. It is safe to store sensitive information in these files. Secure files support both plain text and binary file types but must be 5 MB or less.
