This is very short and neat compared to the github actions version, which I assume is because the actions version has many more bells and whistles (scheduling, toolchain specification etc). Does anyone know how would a feature-matched gitlab-ci yaml file compare?

The big difference with the GitHub actions version is caching and parallelism - I am not a GitLab user, but I'd be happy to host a more optimised version if provided.

This could, and probably should, be broken into separate steps instead of everything being done in a single step. At least attempt to parallelize things that could be done at the same time.

If anybody who knows GitLab CI wants to pitch in with a more optimised setup I am happy to edit the gist 😁

Hey! To parallelize things you could update this to something like the following:

image: "rust:latest"

default:
  before_script:
    - rustc --version 
    - cargo --version

stages:
  - test

test-code:
  stage: test
  script:
    - cargo test
    - cargo install cargo-tarpaulin
    - cargo tarpaulin --ignore-tests

lint-code:
  stage: test
  script:
    - rustup component add rustfmt
    - cargo fmt -- --check
    - rustup component add clippy
    - cargo clippy -- -D warnings

audit-code:
  stage: test
  script:
    - cargo install cargo-audit
    - cargo audit

Thanks - updated @devonh!
