 ===== Authorization to clone git repos =====
-Just like a normal git user, the CI pipeline also needs to prove it has the authority to clone a repository.

-Best practice would be to use [[https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/deploy_keys/index.html|deploy keys]] and put the private key in the [[https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/index.html#add-a-cicd-variable-to-a-project|CI variables]].

+==== Propagating CI triggers ====
+We want the main pipeline to be triggered if a commit happens in ANY of the repositories that the pipeline depends on. \\
+This can be achieved by putting the following ''.gitlab-ci.yml'' in each of those repos, in the right branch of course (i.e. the branch the pipeline uses).
+<code yaml>
+trigger-main:
+  trigger:
+    project: robotlab/heron/heron-ci
+    branch: main
+    strategy: depend
