2026-H1

Major update to the CLI tool developed by the Haaga-Helia Softala software development project course during the spring semester of 2026.

This release introduces comprehensive GitLab integration, expanding the MLOps platform's support for self-hosted environments, along with crucial infrastructure unifications and expanded documentation.

Key Highlights:

• Full GitLab Support: The CLI tool now natively supports creating configuration and working repositories on GitLab.
• Self-Hosting Support: Added full support for self-hosted GitLab instances, catering to organizations with strict data privacy requirements.
• CI/CD & Infrastructure: Unified the pipeline execution approach. The development branch .gitlab-ci.yml has been updated to align with the production approach by utilizing SSH connections.
• Quality of Life: Implemented template cleanup logic to automatically remove unnecessary platform-specific files during repo initialization.
• Documentation: Added a comprehensive, step-by-step setup guide for the CSC cPouta remote cluster and updated the GitLab Runner installation guides.
